Germany Announces its Participation in ‘Nuclear’ Talks with Iran, the UK, and France

German Foreign Ministry spokesperson Christian Wagner confirmed that officials and political directors are planning a meeting to discuss various topics, including Iran’s nuclear program. While the details of the venue and timing were not disclosed, the discussions are expected to involve key European countries, the UK, France, and Iran.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht Ravanchi, has traveled to Oslo, Norway, to begin talks with European nations, which are anticipated to set the stage for further negotiations in Geneva on Friday. These talks will focus on nuclear issues, regional matters, and the state of Iran's relations with Europe.

These developments come after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted a resolution accusing Iran of insufficient cooperation, which was proposed by the European trio and supported by the US. In response, Iran activated more advanced centrifuges, signaling its right to retaliate against these accusations.

The European trio, along with the US, has continued to press Iran over alleged non-compliance with IAEA standards, despite Iran’s increased cooperation in recent years. This confrontational approach follows the US’s unilateral exit from the 2015 nuclear deal, which led to the re-imposition of sanctions. Despite Europe’s efforts, they have been unable to bring the US back into compliance with the agreement, while Iran insists on resuming talks based on mutual respect and the removal of US sanctions.
