Europe powers and US to discuss Iran nuclear deal on Thursday

By AFP 17 February 2021, 2:27 pm Edit

France says it will host talks tomorrow between the top diplomats of European powers and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken focused on Iran, as they try to salvage a 2015 deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian will meet his counterparts Heiko Maas of Germany and Dominic Raab of Britain in Paris, with Blinken joining via videoconference, the French foreign ministry says.

The European powers want to revive the nuclear deal that former US president Donald Trump walked out of in 2018 but that the administration of Joe Biden has said it could rejoin if Tehran returns to compliance with the deal.
