Iran, Russia, China Unite in Nuclear Talks—US Sidelined, EU Threatens Sanctions Showdown in Istanbul
As global tensions rise, Iran hosts trilateral nuclear talks with Russia and China—just days before a critical summit with European powers in Istanbul.
The U.S., once central to negotiations, now watches from the sidelines as Tehran rejects direct dialogue.
With the 2015 nuclear deal hanging by a thread and “snapback” sanctions looming, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher.
Will this new Iran–Russia–China axis reshape the global balance of power?
And can Europe force Iran back into compliance—or will diplomacy collapse once again?

Iran has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to continuing uranium enrichment as talks with European powers loom in Istanbul on July 25. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that despite the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the nation’s atomic program remains a symbol of "national pride" and non‑negotiable sovereignty.
Simultaneously, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed acceptance of a technical delegation from the IAEA in the coming weeks to discuss future cooperation modalities—but clarified they will not inspect nuclear sites or facilities.
European leaders from the UK, France, and Germany are set to press for an extension or activation of the JCPOA’s "snapback" sanctions mechanism unless Iran makes verifiable concessions, including limiting enriched uranium stockpiles and resuming full cooperation with inspectors. Tehran insists that any renewed US engagement must begin with rebuilding trust and rejecting military covert agendas

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets.
Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure.

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen has escalated tensions with Moscow, calling President Vladimir Putin a “predator” while urging European nations to boost their militaries against the Russian threat. Speaking in Riga during her Europe tour, von der Leyen blamed Russia for hybrid attacks, cyber operations, and weaponizing migrants. Her remarks follow Putin’s warning against Western sanctions and his show of unity with China. As the EU pushes for militarization and Moscow aligns with Beijing, Europe risks becoming a major flashpoint in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

A U.S. appeals court has ruled that many of President Trump’s global tariffs were imposed illegally, dealing a major setback to his trade agenda. The 7-4 ruling found Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to levy duties, though tariffs remain in place until October pending further appeal. The decision casts uncertainty over deals with the EU, UK, and other partners, raising questions about billions collected. Critics warn of a “global diplomatic embarrassment” as Trump vows to fight back in the Supreme Court.

The Iran–Australia diplomatic feud has deepened after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi mocked Australian PM Anthony Albanese, saying even Netanyahu was “right about one thing—that Australia’s PM is a weak politician.” Araghchi rejected Canberra’s accusations that Tehran sponsored anti-Jewish attacks, stressing Iran protects one of the world’s oldest Jewish communities. He accused Albanese of appeasing Israel after Australia expelled Iran’s envoy over synagogue and café attacks. Tehran vowed retaliation, escalating tensions in a rapidly worsening diplomatic showdown.

A major diplomatic storm has erupted as Australia expels Iran’s envoy, accusing Tehran of orchestrating anti-Jewish attacks, including the torching of a Sydney kosher café and a Melbourne synagogue. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned Iran’s alleged role, calling it “extraordinary foreign aggression.” Tehran, denying the charges and branding anti-Semitism a Western phenomenon, vowed retaliation. Canberra has suspended its Tehran embassy, escalated tensions, and is now considering designating Iran’s IRGC as a terror group—pushing relations to their lowest point.

Russia has openly backed Iran’s nuclear enrichment plans amid growing U.S. and European strike warnings. In a bilateral call, President Putin assured Iranian President Pezeshkian of Moscow’s support, reinforcing a united front ahead of the SCO summit in China. The U.S. has threatened a second wave of attacks if Tehran restarts its nuclear plants, while Russia and China continue defending Iran’s right to pursue civil nuclear energy. Analysts warn of a new nuclear bloc forming as Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing push back against Western dominance.
