Iran and Europe hold nuclear talks

Talks on Iran's nuclear program have been stalled since Israel and the US attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last month. However, diplomats from Tehran and Europe met in Türkiye on Friday. Vice-ministerial level officials from Iran, Britain, France and Germany held a meeting for about four hours at the Iranian Consulate. Iran has been steadfast about maintaining its nuclear enrichment program.

Reuters says the Europeans urged Iran to avoid that situation by committing to key issues, including full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and accounting for the whereabouts of highly enriched uranium, which is unknown since the strikes last month. Shortly after the meeting, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister posted on X that the talks were "serious, frank and detailed." He said his delegation explained Tehran's "principled positions," including those on the threat of UN sanctions. He also said they agreed to continue consultations.
