The foreign ministers of Iran and five world powers still party to the 2015 nuclear deal will meet in Vienna on Friday for talks on the troubled accord, state media in Tehran says.
The top diplomats of Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia will join Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in the Austrian capital, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reports, for their first talks together on the deal since Washington pulled out earlier this year.
During the meeting the ministers will discuss an “incentive package” the European Union is offering to try to persuade Iran to stay in the agreement, IRNA reports.
The meeting will seek “solutions to preserve the Iran nuclear deal after the illegal US action to withdraw,” it says.
The announcement comes with President Hassan Rouhani in Europe to rally support for the deal.
Rouhani, accompanied by Zarif, is in Switzerland today and due to head on Wednesday to Vienna, where the accord was signed in 2015.
