UK, France and Germany ready to reimpose sanctions on Iran over nuclear programme
UK, France, and Germany are ready to reimpose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program if negotiations do not resume by the end of August. The E3 offered an extension for talks until late August, with no response from Iran so far. If Iran fails to engage in diplomatic discussions, the E3 will trigger a "snapback" mechanism to reinstate previous sanctions. The potential reimplementation of sanctions comes after Iran's suspension of cooperation with the IAEA and escalations with the US and Israel.
