Talks among Iran, European countries aim to restart nuclear negotiations, Iran FM says

Talks held in Geneva among Iran, Britain, France, and Germany aim to find a way to resume nuclear talks, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says in an interview with Iran’s state TV.

Iran’s official news agency reported earlier on Tuesday that the talks held in Geneva on Monday will lead to dialogue continuing regarding Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

“The talks were serious, frank, and constructive. We discussed ideas involving certain details in the sanctions-lifting and nuclear fields that are needed for a deal,” Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for international and legal affairs, wrote on social media on Monday.

“Sides concurred that negotiations should be resumed and to reach a deal, all parties should create and maintain the appropriate atmosphere. We agreed to continue our dialogue,” he added.

The talks followed discussions in November. At that time, an Iranian official told Reuters that finalizing a roadmap with Europeans would “put the ball in the US court to revive or kill the nuclear deal.”
