Summary
Senior officials from the E3 countries (UK, Germany, France) have warned the Trump administration that Iran is intentionally delaying nuclear agreement negotiations to obstruct sanctions enforcement. The European signatories indicated that if a new and meaningful deal is not reached by August, they would activate the snapback mechanism, potentially leading to extensive sanctions on Iran. The central dispute involves uranium enrichment, with the US refusing to allow it under a new agreement while Iran maintains its right to enrich for civilian purposes.
