Europe gives Iran deadline to contain nuclear programme or see sanctions reinstated
Briefly

The EU plans to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran starting 29 August if Tehran does not demonstrate clear progress in controlling its nuclear program. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot emphasized the necessity of reapplying sanctions that had been lifted ten years prior. The reinstatement could be finalized by 15 October, granting European nations leverage in negotiations. A return of UN inspectors to Iran is desired to oversee nuclear activities. The mechanism for snapback sanctions does not allow China or Russia to veto the process, ensuring European authority in decision-making.
The EU will initiate the reinstatement of UN sanctions on Iran if no progress on its nuclear programme is made by 29 August. France and partners aim to reapply embargos on arms, banks, and nuclear equipment, indicating the need for a tangible commitment from Iran.
The sanctions could be fully reimposed by 15 October, providing a strategic leverage for European countries in negotiations. The EU seeks the return of UN inspectors to monitor Iran's nuclear activities after recent US strikes.
