For a long time it was not clear when the P5 + 1 nuclear negotiations with Iran would resume. A date has now been set.
The nuclear negotiations with Iran will continue on November 29 in Vienna. The European External Action Service announced on Wednesday evening.
High diplomats from China, Russia, France, Great Britain and Germany will meet with representatives of Tehran under the chairmanship of the EU Foreign Affairs Representative, Josep Borrell. Iran’s deputy foreign minister and future head of the Iranian nuclear delegation, Ali Bagheri, also confirmed the appointment on Twitter that evening.
Negotiations to restore the 2015 Vienna Agreement were interrupted after the presidential election in June and the change of government in Tehran. The remaining partners are trying to get the US back to the agreement. Iran should also enter into technical obligations.
The Vienna deal was supposed to prevent the construction of Iranian nuclear weapons. In return, the sanctions on Iran should be lifted. In response to the US sanctions, Tehran began to exceed the imposed technical restrictions in 2019, including making its uranium more and more weapons-grade.
