Iran will hold talks in Istanbul on Friday with European parties to their now-moribund nuclear deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Wednesday, after an earlier meeting planned for May 2 was postponed.<\/p>\n
Reuters reported earlier that the Iranian deputy foreign minister would meet French, British and German diplomats to maintain dialogue and discuss how they envisage parameters of a potential new nuclear deal being negotiated between Tehran and Washington.<\/p>\n
Iran’s foreign minister said the fourth round of Iran-US talks held on May 11 was “difficult” as they focused on the controversial issue of enrichment, adding he hoped the other side would come with “more realistic positions” after gaining a better understanding of Iran’s fundamental positions.<\/p>\n
A fifth round of talks is to be announced by Oman’s foreign ministry which has acted as mediator since the start of the talks on April 12.<\/p>\n
Araqchi reacted to US President Donald Trump\u2019s comment made on Tuesday in Riyadh, where Trump called Iran “the most destructive force” in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, this is a deceptive view. It is the US that has prevented Iran’s progress through sanctions,” Araqchi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
