Iran, Europe Agree To Continue Nuclear Talks After Geneva Meeting
Iran and European powers Britain, France, and Germany have agreed to continue discussions on Tehran’s contested nuclear program following a round of talks held in Geneva on Monday, Iran’s state news agency reported.
Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for international and legal affairs, described the talks as “serious, frank, and constructive” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He noted that the parties discussed specific details related to sanctions relief and nuclear measures necessary for reaching an agreement.

“Sides concurred that negotiations should be resumed and to reach a deal, all parties should create and maintain the appropriate atmosphere,” Gharibabadi wrote, adding that they had agreed to continue their dialogue.
The meeting builds on discussions held in November, where Iranian officials suggested that finalizing a roadmap with European nations would place the onus on the US to either revive or abandon the nuclear deal.
The 2015 nuclear pact, from which the US withdrew under then-President Donald Trump in 2018, aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The US exit prompted Iran to breach the agreement’s restrictions by expanding its uranium enrichment and developing advanced centrifuges.
