Why is Europe working towards a nuclear deal with Iran? | DW News

Germany, France and the UK are set to negotiate with Iran in Istanbul about the future of its nuclear program on Friday. For Iran, the stakes are high.

There is much at stake when representatives from Germany, France and the United Kingdom meet their counterparts from Iran in Istanbul on Friday to negotiate the future of Iran's nuclear program. If the talks fail, Iran risks a new wave of sanctions. Questions remain about the technical status of Iran's nuclear program after the attacks by Israel and the US on Iranian nuclear facilities in June. Or whether Iran can continue its program at all.
The limited information available does not appear to support claims by US President Donald Trump that Iran's nuclear facilities and nuclear program have been "totally obliterated," said Hamidreza Azizi, an Iran expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. In his view, Iran would likely be able to resume its enrichment program to a certain extent in the short to medium term. Azizi estimates that the country still has much of the highly enriched uranium it stockpiled over the past few years.
