Iran says EU nuclear coordinator to visit this week

TEHRAN, 10 May 2022, (TON): Iran’s foreign ministry said “the European Union’s coordinator for talks between Iran and world powers over restoring a 2015 nuclear deal will visit Tehran this week.”

“The agenda for talks in Tehran is nearly finalized,” foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said at a weekly press briefing.

“He will meet with Ali Bagheri, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator.”

The date of Mora’s arrival in Iran’s capital has not been confirmed, but local press reported he is expected.

The 2015 deal gave Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program to guarantee that it could not develop a nuclear weapon, something Tehran has always denied wanting to do.

It was agreed between Iran and the five permanent United Nations Security Council members China, Russia, the United States, United Kingdom and France, alongside Germany.
