Overview

  • Iran and Britain, France and Germany will meet at the deputy foreign minister level in Istanbul on July 25 to discuss Tehran’s nuclear programme, with exact venue details still being finalised.
  • The E3 have set a deadline to trigger a “snapback” of UN sanctions by the end of summer if the July talks fail to yield substantive progress on a nuclear deal.
  • Tehran has halted routine cooperation with the IAEA following last month’s US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear sites, and Europe is pressing for inspectors to resume work.
  • Abbas Moqtadaei, a member of Iran’s parliamentary national security commission, warned Tehran could withhold its security commitments in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz if sanctions are reinstated.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Ali Larijani in the Kremlin last weekend to discuss regional stability and Iran’s nuclear programme ahead of the upcoming E3 negotiations.
