As the deadline at the end of August approaches, Iran is under intense scrutiny from the U.S. and European allies, who are poised to reinstate UN sanctions if no progress is made on a nuclear deal. France, the UK, and Germany are leading efforts to restore sanctions, with warnings issued that failure to cooperate could lead to severe repercussions for Iran. In response, Iranian officials have issued threats of retaliation, highlighting concerns over potential snapback sanctions and increased uranium enrichment capabilities. The escalating tensions have led to heightened fears of military confrontations, with Iranian officials suggesting potential drone strikes against European cities if sanctions are reinstated. As diplomatic channels remain tense, the situation continues to evolve, leaving both sides in a precarious standoff.
