The UK, France, and Germany have agreed to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran by August's end if nuclear deal progress isn't made. This follows discussions between their ambassadors and a phone call with US Secretary of State Blinken, focusing on preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The 'snapback' provision in the 2015 nuclear deal allows for sanctions reimposition if Iran doesn't comply. While Iran has expressed willingness to resume talks, recent Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear facilities have complicated negotiations.
