European officials warned Iran that it hasn't taken sufficient steps to prevent the return of UN sanctions over its nuclear program, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Following a call with Iranian representatives, the EU's top diplomat stressed Iran's need to fully cooperate with the IAEA and allow inspections. Iran's foreign minister countered that the sanctions lack legal basis, citing a deal for IAEA access to nuclear sites. However, the timeline for Iran's report remains unclear, leaving the possibility of sanctions re-implementation by late September, potentially escalating tensions further.
