Iran Confirms Resuming Nuclear Talks during Upcoming Days

The nuclear talks between Iran, the US, and Europe will be resumed once again in the upcoming days, according to the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on Saturday.

Amirabdollahian revealed: "We are prepared to resume talks in the coming days. What is important for Iran is to fully receive the economic benefits of the 2015 accord."

He added that he had a "long but positive meeting" with the EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell.

The White House National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby revealed that he can't give any updates about the talks, adding: "But there's nothing changed about our position that a nuclear deal is the best way to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons status."

On his side, EU Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said: "We are expected to resume talks in the coming days and break the impasse. It has been three months and we need to accelerate the work. I am very happy about the decision that has been made in Tehran and Washington."

More than a year ago, Iran and the powers still included in the 2015 agreement (France, Britain, Germany, Russia, and China) began talks in Vienna in which the United States, which withdrew unilaterally from the agreement in 2018, indirectly participated in the era of its former president, Donald Trump.
