Iran and the European troika – France, Germany, and Britain –have reportedly agreed in principle to resume nuclear negotiations next week.
An informed source told Tasnim news agency on Sunday that the two sides have agreed to restart talks, but the time and place of the negotiations are yet to be finalized.
"The principle of talks has been agreed upon, but consultations are continuing on the time and place of the talks. The country in which the talks could be held has not been finalized," the source said.
According to the source, the talks will be held at the level of foreign ministers.
In talks with his German, French, and British counterparts and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the EU and European troika need to abandon their “worn-out policies” of threat and pressure if they seek to play a role in any new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States.
Pointing to repeated European threats about the activation of a mechanism that would re-impose hefty sanctions on the Islamic Republic, Araghchi said, “If EU/E3 want to have a role, they should act responsibly, and put aside the worn-out policies of threat and pressure, including the 'snapback' for which they lack absolutely no moral and legal ground.”
Snapback would bring into force six previous Iran-related Security Council resolutions adopted between 2006 and 2010. It would reinstate the expired UN arms embargo that barred countries from supplying, selling, or transferring most military equipment to Iran and prohibited Tehran from exporting any weapons.
It would also impose export controls, travel bans, asset freezes, and other restrictions on individuals, entities, and banks.
Iran and the United States held five rounds of indirect talks on Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program before June 13, when the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked act of aggression on the Islamic Republic, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists in addition to ordinary civilians.
Mediated by Oman, the 6th round of talks was planned to be held in the Omani capital of Muscat on June 15, but was called off due to the anti-Iran attacks.
On June 22, the United States officially joined the war against Iran by launching attacks on three nuclear facilities in the country in violation of the United Nations Charter and the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
