Iran and European nations (E3) will hold renewed nuclear talks in Istanbul on Friday. These discussions, hosted by Turkey, follow a recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran, which also included US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran seeks sanctions relief and insists its nuclear program is peaceful, while the E3 aims to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and may trigger a sanctions "snapback" mechanism if no solution is reached by August. The talks will focus on lifting sanctions and addressing concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
