Iran, E3 Renew Nuclear Talks in Geneva

The deputy foreign ministers of Iran and the three major European powers held another round of nuclear talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday.

The talks were also joined by the European Union foreign policy deputy chairwoman, The Caspian Post reports, citing Iranian media.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi and Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi headed the Iranian delegation at the talks.

The talks were concluded without issuing any statement.

The main focus of the talks was Europe's threat to activate the trigger mechanism, as well as some issues related to the extension of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Join Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

After the conclusion of the second round of the talks in Geneva on Tuesday afternoon, Gharibabadi wrote in a post on X in both Farsi and English languages that "Dr. Takht-Ravanchi and I held another meeting with the political directors of the three European countries in Geneva."

"Both sides outlined their respective views on resolution 2231," the Iranian negotiator said, adding that "Iran remains committed to diplomacy and a mutually beneficial diplomatic solution."

"High time for the E3 and UNSC to make the right choice, and give diplomacy time and space.," he continued.

The first round of talks between the deputy foreign ministers was held in Istanbul on July 25.
