Iran will hold talks about its disputed nuclear program with three European countries on November 29, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on November 24, days after the UN atomic watchdog passed a resolution against Tehran.
Iran reacted to the resolution — proposed by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States — with various measures reportedly such as activating numerous new and advanced centrifuges, machines that enrich uranium.
Japan’s Kyodo news agency, which first reported the meeting would take place in Geneva, said Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian’s government was seeking a solution to the nuclear impasse ahead of the inauguration in January of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei later said the deputy foreign ministers of Iran and the three European countries would take part in the talks, which he said would cover regional issues as well as the nuclear dossier.
