Iran Threatens Nuclear Treaty Exit as Europe Weighs Sanctions in High-Stakes Nuclear Talks

Iran is set to resume nuclear negotiations with France, Germany, and the UK in Istanbul amid mounting tensions over its nuclear program. The European powers are threatening to reimpose UN sanctions unless Iran returns to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, while Iran warns it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions are reinstated. Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure and avoid the 'snapback' of global sanctions. The talks come as a critical deadline approaches, with both sides signaling little optimism for a breakthrough. The outcome could have major implications for regional security and the future of nuclear diplomacy.
