U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, set the end of August as the de facto deadline for reaching a nuclear deal with Iran. If no deal is reached, the European countries plan to trigger the “snapback” of U.N. Security Council sanctions, which were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran might avoid this outcome by allowing the resumption of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring and the removal of roughly 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium. The snapback process is expected to take 30 days and would therefore be concluded before Russia assumes the rotating presidency of the Security Council in October.
