UK urges Iran to return to nuclear talks in Vienna

LONDON, 14 September 2021, (TON): This came during a phone call between British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Iran’s new Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Raab wrote on Twitter “held my first call with new Iran Foreign Minister @Amirabdolahian today.”

“We discussed our shared interest in a stable Afghanistan. I called on Iran to release all arbitrarily detained British Nationals and to return to the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) talks in Vienna.”

Delegations from the JCPOA's signatories, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, and China, launched efforts in April to bring Tehran and Washington, which abandoned the deal in 2018, back into its fold.

After the June 18 election victory of Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, these negotiations in Vienna were suspended.
