France, Germany, UK willing to reinstate sanctions on Iran

France, the UK, and Germany warn Iran of reinstating UN sanctions if nuclear deal commitments are unmet by end of August, citing uranium stockpile 40 times above allowed limit.

  • France, Germany, and the UK have indicated their willingness to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran should diplomatic efforts fail to produce an agreement by the end of August 2025.
  • This comes after Iran violated the 2015 nuclear agreement by expanding its uranium stockpile to over forty times the allowed limit and ceasing cooperation with the IAEA following Israeli attacks in June.
  • The Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities triggered a 12-day conflict in June, which halted diplomatic talks and escalated regional tensions amid warnings by international powers about Iran's nuclear activities.
  • The E3 ministers stated that unless Iran agrees to a diplomatic resolution by late August 2025 or opts for an extension, they are ready to activate the snapback mechanism.
  • If triggered, the snapback would reinstate UN sanctions lifted by the 2015 deal to curb Iran's nuclear program and signal serious diplomatic and regional consequences.
