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

Iran is set to hold urgent nuclear talks with France, Britain, and Germany in Istanbul amid mounting threats from the European powers to reimpose UN sanctions.

Tehran has warned it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if sanctions are reinstated, escalating tensions over its nuclear program. The talks come as Iran seeks support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure and avoid the so-called 'snapback' of global sanctions. European nations accuse Iran of violating the 2015 nuclear deal, while Iran blames Europe for non-compliance and the deal's collapse.

The outcome of these negotiations could determine whether diplomacy prevails or the nuclear standoff intensifies.
