Iran and European Powers Continue Talks on Nuclear Program in Geneva

The discussions focus on lifting sanctions and addressing nuclear concerns as the 2015 deal approaches its expiration.

  • Iran and the E3 nations—Germany, France, and the UK—held two days of talks in Geneva, described as 'serious, frank, and constructive' by both sides.
  • The discussions aim to explore pathways for reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, which provided sanctions relief in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear activities.
  • European leaders expressed growing alarm over Iran's uranium enrichment, now at 60% purity, nearing weapons-grade levels, and called for diplomatic solutions.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Iran's nuclear advancements are approaching a 'breaking point,' urging consideration of reinstating UN sanctions if progress stalls.
  • The talks come just days before Donald Trump returns to the U.S. presidency, raising concerns about a potential return to his 'maximum pressure' policy on Iran.
