E3 warns it could set off Iran sanctions snapback if no nuclear talks progress by end-August

France, Germany and the UK have knowledgeable the United Nations they’re ready to reinstate sanctions on Iran if it fails to re-engage in nuclear negotiations, the Monetary Instances reported on Tuesday.

In a letter to the UN, the overseas ministers of the so-called E3 warned they’d set off the “snapback” mechanism until Tehran takes motion:

• “If Iran shouldn’t be keen to succeed in a diplomatic resolution earlier than the top of August 2025, or doesn’t seize the chance of an extension, the E3 are ready to set off the snapback mechanism,” the ministers wrote, in keeping with the report.

The warning follows “severe, frank and detailed” talks in Istanbul final month — the primary face-to-face discussions since Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear websites. Governments in London, Paris and Berlin didn’t instantly reply to Reuters’ requests for remark.
