Iran, European Powers Meet Amid Tensions over Nuclear Deal

Iranian and European diplomats met in Istanbul on May 16, 2025, to discuss the future of the nuclear deal amid ongoing tensions.
The talks followed the 2018 U.S. Withdrawal from the 2015 agreement and recent indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations mediated by Oman, with Europeans not directly in U.S.-Iran talks.
Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium up to 60 percent and rejects dismantling enrichment, while European powers consider reactivating a U.N. sanctions snapback by October if talks fail.
U.S. President Trump stated that the country is nearing an agreement with Iran and cautioned Tehran to act promptly to avoid negative consequences, while Iranian officials maintained that they have not received any official proposal.
The meeting underscored continued diplomatic efforts to avoid renewed sanctions and military conflict, although risks of nuclear proliferation and European regional impacts remain significant.
