Iran and European Powers to Resume Nuclear Talks Amid Heightened Tensions

Talks scheduled for Friday in Geneva follow Iran's activation of advanced centrifuges and IAEA censure over lack of cooperation.

  • Iran announced it will meet with France, Germany, and the UK on Friday to discuss its nuclear program and regional issues, marking the first such talks in two years.
  • The meeting comes after the IAEA adopted a resolution criticizing Iran for insufficient cooperation and demanding a comprehensive report on its nuclear activities by spring.
  • In response to the resolution, Iran has activated thousands of advanced centrifuges to significantly increase its uranium enrichment capacity, nearing weapons-grade levels.
  • Western nations, including the US, UK, France, and Germany, have expressed serious concern over Iran's nuclear advancements, stating they lack credible peaceful justification.
  • Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian has signaled a willingness to resolve ambiguities diplomatically but faces skepticism from European counterparts regarding Tehran's intentions.
