Iran, EU to Meet in Prelude to Nuclear Accord Talks

Iran and the European Union will hold talks in Brussels on Wednesday designed to clear the way for a wider diplomatic push to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, the Islamic Republic’s lead negotiator said.

Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said in a series of tweets that he’ll meet EU’s deputy foreign policy chief Enrique Mora, adding that other signatories to the accord should “call out” the U.S. on its sanctions record. Tehran is “determined to engage in negotiations” that would remove sanctions, he said.
