By triggering snapback sanctions, Europe has lost its key leverage over Iran. To prevent further nuclear escalation and regional conflict, it must now pivot to damage limitation through small, confidence-building deals instead of aligning with a confrontational U.S. pressure strategy.

To avoid triggering sanctions or losing leverage, Europe proposes extending the snapback deadline. This could involve Chinese inspections as a temporary verification measure, buying time for renewed U.S.-Iran diplomacy and preventing further military escalation over Iran’s nuclear program.
