UK, Germany, France Seek UN Sanctions Delay on Iran Amid Nuclear Talks

News summary

Britain, France, and Germany are seeking to extend the deadline for reimposing United Nations sanctions on Iran, contingent upon Tehran agreeing to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States and cooperating with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors. This diplomatic effort comes amid heightened tensions following Israel's recent military strikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, which stalled earlier US-Iran talks. The proposed extension aims to delay triggering the 'snapback' mechanism under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which would automatically restore UN sanctions, but it requires a new UN Security Council resolution. Iran has warned that renewed sanctions could lead it to withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, escalating the crisis further, and has criticized the sanctions as illegal while freezing cooperation with the IAEA. European powers emphasize that without Iran's cooperation on uranium enrichment and inspections, sanctions reinstatement is inevitable. The US remains excluded from direct talks but insists Iran halt enrichment before negotiations resume, while the European powers push for diplomacy to avoid further escalation.
