Nuclear talks between Iran and Britain, France and Germany will be held Tuesday in Geneva, marking the second such meeting since Iran’s mid-June 12-day war with Israel and subsequent U.S. strikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities.
"On Tuesday, Iran and the three European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, along with the European Union, will hold a new round of talks at the level of deputy foreign ministers in Geneva," Iranian state television said Monday.
It comes after Iran suspended cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog following the war with Israel, with Tehran pointing to the International Atomic Energy Agency's failure to condemn Israeli and U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities. The previous round of talks was held in Istanbul on July 25.
The unprecedented bombing by Israel and the retaliation by Iran during the 12-day war derailed Tehran's nuclear negotiations with Washington.
The European trio have threatened to trigger a "snapback mechanism" under the 2015 nuclear deal, which would reimpose U.N. sanctions that were lifted under the agreement, unless Iran agrees to curb its uranium enrichment and restore cooperation with IAEA inspectors.
