DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — French and Iranian experts are huddling in Paris as the clock ticks on an end-of-the-week deadline for Europe to come up with a way for Iran to sell its oil despite US sanctions — or face a new scaling back of the 2015 nuclear accord.
A visit on Monday by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and a team of economists was wrapped in discretion.
The French Foreign Ministry says only that a teams of experts, including from the economy ministry, are meeting “to reach a de-escalation of tensions.”
The meeting coincides with a Moscow visit by Iran’s foreign minister, who made an exceptional appearance in Biarritz last week on the sidelines of the G-7 summit.
French President Emmanuel Macron has worked to save the nuclear accord, unraveling since US President Donald Trump withdrew and leveled sanctions on Iran.
