The latest news on Iran. Iranian officials will hold discussions with France, Britain, and Germany in Rome on Friday, aiming to assess European positions before a fresh round of US-Iran nuclear talks this weekend.
These meetings follow rising tensions over sanctions and Iran's nuclear programme, as Tehran gauges whether Europe might support a reimposition of UN sanctions later this year. Of course, there was initial European hesitation.
However, diplomats ultimately opted to keep channels open and clarify terms for a potential future agreement. Iran's outreach also follows recent talks with Russia and China, as it manoeuvres diplomatically on multiple fronts.
