Britain, France, and Germany (E3) threatened to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran if it fails to resume nuclear negotiations and cooperate with the IAEA by the end of August 2025. The E3 stated they are prepared to trigger the 'snapback' mechanism to reinstate sanctions. Iranian officials warned of potential retaliation, including withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Recent diplomatic efforts in Istanbul failed to produce a breakthrough following a June conflict between Iran and Israel, and Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA.
