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?
Russia, China, and Iran are set to hold high-level trilateral talks to counter renewed EU threats of snapback sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran claims the U.S. is not part of any negotiation and rejects new IAEA demands as biased and unlawful. While France, Britain, and Germany warn of penalties unless Iran complies, Moscow and Beijing back Tehran’s call for diplomacy. Separate Iran-EU talks in Istanbul are scheduled, but Iran maintains it will not engage with the U.S., escalating nuclear tensions ahead of a critical month.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

In a dramatic escalation of Turkey’s political crackdown, three more opposition mayors — Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya — have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu’s imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdogan’s government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHP’s presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkey’s largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov unleashed a scathing rebuke of European nations following the EU’s latest sanctions on Russia. Labeling Europe as “gone crazy,” Lavrov accused EU leaders of manufacturing fear and portraying Russia as an existential threat. His remarks come after the EU’s 18th sanctions package targeted Russia’s energy and banking sectors. In retaliation, Moscow imposed bans on EU officials, accusing them of undermining Russia’s sovereignty. Lavrov urged Europe to focus on its economic decline and deindustrialization instead.

Will EU fertiliser tariffs hit Russia's coffers?
To reduce its economic dependence on Russia, the EU has imposed higher tariffs on fertilisers and agricultural products. The aim is to reduce Russian revenue, but it could impact on food prices in the EU, which worries farmers.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a “national pride,” rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attack’s success, warning more strikes “if necessary.” Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals.

Israel has launched fresh airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeida port, claiming the site was being used to funnel Iranian weapons for attacks on Israeli and allied interests. The IDF has intensified operations in the Red Sea region, warning Tehran directly with the message: “Yemen = Tehran.” This comes amid escalating tensions tied to the Gaza conflict and increasing Houthi drone and missile attacks. The international community watches closely as the Israel-Houthi conflict threatens broader regional stability.

In a striking show of regional power and coordination, Iran and Russia have launched CASAREX 2025—a large-scale joint search-and-rescue naval drill in the Caspian Sea. The three-day exercise, titled “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea,” is hosted by Iran’s Northern Fleet and involves elite units from the Iranian Navy, IRGC, and Law Enforcement Command.
A Russian naval vessel has already entered Iranian waters to begin the operational phase in the Imam Reza (AS) Maritime District. Military observers from other Caspian nations are present, further highlighting growing regional cooperation. Defense experts view this as a major geopolitical signal of Iran-Russia maritime alignment and a direct rebuttal to Western influence in regional waters. This unprecedented drill underscores rising multipolar power dynamics, boosting Tehran and Moscow’s call for autonomous regional security. The Caspian, once overlooked, is fast becoming a strategic stage in the global power competition.
