DOHA, 30 June 2022, (TON): Chief negotiators from the United States and Iran began indirect talks in Qatar, bidding to remove obstacles that have stalled attempts to revive a landmark nuclear deal.
The indirect negotiations headed by US special envoy Robert Malley and Iran’s Ali Bagheri come after more than a year of European Union-mediated talks in Vienna on a return to the 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers.
The Doha talks also come just two weeks before US President Joe Biden’s first visit to the region since taking office, when efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions will be high on the agenda.
A diplomat in the region said “indirect messages have been exchanged between the parties involved.”
Iran’s state news agency IRNA published a photo of Bagheri meeting with the EU coordinator for the talks, Enrique Mora.
