אירופה מאיימת בסנקציות חזרה מיידיות כאשר השיחות הגרעיניות עם איראן מתקרבות לקראת מועד קריטי

European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, with both sides aiming to avoid further escalation but little expectation of a breakthrough. Iran has threatened to retaliate and possibly abandon nuclear restrictions if sanctions are restored, raising fears of increased regional instability. The European 'snapback' mechanism allows for the automatic reinstatement of sanctions if Iran is found to be in violation of the agreement. The diplomatic standoff comes amid accusations from Tehran that Europe failed to uphold its commitments, while European officials insist Iran must return to compliance or face renewed isolation.
