The next round of talks on the nuclear issue between Iran and three European countries will take place on January 13 in Geneva, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported, citing interim Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi on Wednesday.
Iran held talks over its controversial nuclear program in November 2024 with the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
These talks, the first since the US election, came after Tehran expressed dissatisfaction with a European-backed resolution accusing Iran of poor cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.
Tehran responded to the resolution by informing the watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), that it plans to install more uranium enrichment centrifuges at its enrichment facilities.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told Reuters in December that Iran was “dramatically accelerating” the enrichment of uranium to 60% purity, approaching the level of around 90% considered weapons-grade. Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons and says its program is for peaceful purposes.
In 2018, then-Donald Trump’s administration withdrew the United States from Iran’s 2015 nuclear pact with six global powers and reimposed tough sanctions on the country, leading Tehran to violate the pact’s nuclear limits, with actions such as rebuilding stockpiles of enriched uranium, refine stockpiles of enriched uranium to greater purity and install advanced centrifuges to speed up production.
