Iran announced it would engage in renewed discussions with European nations about its nuclear programme later this week. The talks, hosted by Turkey, aim to address the lifting of sanctions tied to Iran's nuclear activities and to assure their peaceful intentions.
To be held in Istanbul on Friday, the discussions mark the first since a recent ceasefire with Israel following a 12-day conflict. This follows previous maritime hostilities where the United States struck several nuclear-related facilities within the Islamic Republic.
Officials from Britain, France, and Germany, collectively known as the E3 nations, along with the European Union's foreign policy chief will join Iranian representatives. Despite challenges, there's emphasis on finding a sustainable diplomatic solution, with European nations warning about the potential reactivation of sanctions if Iran doesn't comply with the 2015 nuclear agreement.
