BERLIN (AP) — The top diplomats of Britain, France, and Germany threatened to reimpose sanctions on Iran as an end-of-the-month deadline nears for the country to resume negotiations with the West over its nuclear program and cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

France, Germany and Britain have written to the United Nations to say they are ready to reinstate sanctions on Iran if it does not return to negotiations with the international community over its nuclear programme.

France, Germany, and the UK have warned Iran through the UN that they will reinstate sanctions if Iran fails to engage in nuclear negotiations by August 2025. This threat follows critical talks with Iran and hinges on the diplomatic path Iran chooses next.
