Iran to hold nuclear talks with France, UK, Germany on Jan 13: Report

Jan 02, 2025

Berlin [Germany], January 2: The next round of nuclear talks between Iran and France, the United Kingdom and Germany will take place in Geneva in January, Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency reports, citing the country's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.
"The new round of talks between Iran and three European countries will be held in Geneva on January 13," Gharibabadi said on Wednesday.
Iran held talks with the three European powers about its disputed nuclear programme in November. Those discussions, the first since the presidential election in the United States, came after Tehran was angered by a Europe-backed resolution that accused Iran of poor cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
Tehran reacted to the resolution by informing the IAEA watchdog that it plans to install more uranium-enriching centrifuges at its enrichment plants.
On December 17, the three European countries accused Iran of growing its stockpile of high-enriched uranium to "unprecedented levels" without "any credible civilian justification". They have also raised the possibility of restoring sanctions against Iran to keep it from developing its nuclear programme.
Tehran insists on its right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and has consistently denied any ambition of developing nuclear weapons capability.
