Iran, Britain, France and Germany will hold nuclear talks in Istanbul on Friday, an Iranian Foreign Ministry representative stated early on
Monday, following warnings by the three European nations that failure to resume negotiations would result in worldwide sanctions being
reimposed on Iran, Reuters reported.“& ldquo; The conference in between Iran, Britain, France and Germany will happen at the deputy
foreign minister level,” & rdquo; Esmaeil Baghaei was priced quote by Iranian state media as saying.The talks scheduled for Friday come
after foreign ministers of the E3 countries, as those European countries are understood, as well as the European Union’& rsquo; s foreign
policy chief, held their first get in touch with Thursday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi considering that Israel and the U.S
attacked Iranian nuclear centers a month ago.The 3 European countries, along with China and Russia, are the staying parties to a 2015
nuclear deal reached with Iran –-- from which the United States withdrew in 2018 –-- that lifted sanctions on the Middle Eastern nation
in return for restrictions on its nuclear programme.The E3 have stated they would bring back U.N
sanctions on Tehran via the “& ldquo; snapback system & rdquo; by the end of August if nuclear talks that were continuous between Iran and
the U.S
before the Israel-Iran air war do not resume or fail to produce concrete results, read the report.“& ldquo; If EU/E3 wish to have a
function, they ought to act properly, and put aside the worn-out policies of danger and pressure, consisting of the ‘& lsquo; snap-back &
rsquo; for which they do not have absolutely [any] ethical and legal ground,” & rdquo; Araqchi said previously in the week.The snapback
system can be used to restore U.N
sanctions before the U.N
Security Council resolution preserving the offer ends on October 18
Prior to the Israel-Iran war, Tehran and Washington held 5 rounds of nuclear talks mediated by Oman but faced major stumbling blocks such as
uranium enrichment in Iran, which Western powers want to lower to zero to minimise any risk of weaponisation.Tehran maintains its nuclear
programme is entirely meant for civilian purposes.The post Iran to hold nuclear talks with European powers on Friday initially appeared on
