"France, the United Kingdom and Germany are demanding Iran make tough concessions to avoid coming under more sanctions. Three European powers are expected to reimpose punishing United Nations sanctions on Iran for ostensibly not engaging with the international community to reach a deal on its nuclear programme. Known as the E3, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have given Iran until August 31 to make some tough decisions."
"They want Iran to resume negotiations with the US over its nuclear programme and allow international inspectors back in to monitor sites and stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. The US quit the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed its own sanctions on Iran. In April and May this year, it entered nuclear talks with Iran, demanding that Iran give up its centrifuges needed to highly enrich uranium and downblend its current nuclear programme."
France, the United Kingdom and Germany (the E3) have threatened to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran unless Iran makes significant concessions by August 31. The E3 demands that Iran resume negotiations with the United States and allow international inspectors to monitor sites and highly enriched uranium stockpiles. The United States withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, then entered talks in April and May demanding centrifuge reductions and downblending. In June the US shifted to demanding Iran abandon its entire nuclear programme, a demand Iran rejected. Observers fear renewed sanctions could escalate regional tensions and prompt further attacks.
