Tehran and European Union officials are preparing for a fresh round of nuclear negotiations aimed at reviving stalled efforts to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The talks, expected to take place in a neutral location, mark the first formal engagement between Iranian negotiators and European powers in several months.
Diplomats from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom — collectively known as the E3 — are reportedly coordinating with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to bring both sides back to the table. The initiative comes amid rising international concern over Iran’s advancing uranium enrichment capabilities and a need to prevent further escalation in the region.
Iran’s foreign ministry confirmed its willingness to engage in “constructive dialogue” under the framework of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which the U.S. exited in 2018. Although the United States will not participate directly, sources indicate that Washington is being kept closely informed of developments and may support a potential framework agreement.
While technical disagreements remain — particularly over inspections, timelines, and sanctions rollback — European officials are cautiously optimistic that progress can be made, especially given the economic pressures facing Iran and growing geopolitical tensions across the Middle East.
Observers say the coming weeks will be critical in determining whether diplomacy can still offer a path forward or whether a new period of confrontation is imminent.
