Iran, European 3 hold new round of talks on JCPOA - Top Diplomat

Tehran, Feb 25 (UNI) Iran and the European Three - the United Kingdom, Germany and France - held a new round of talks on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said.
"On the margin of Minister Araghchi's visit to Geneva to participate in the Conference on Disarmament and Human Rights Council's high-level segments, I held a new round of constructive talks with E3 Political Directors. We exchanged views on nuclear and sanctions lifting issues. All sides emphasised their commitment to finding a diplomatic and negotiated solution. It was agreed to continue talks," Gharibabadi said on X on Monday.
The JCPOA was signed in 2015 among Iran, France, Germany, the UK, China, Russia and the United States, as well as the European Union. The deal provided for the easing of sanctions in exchange for curbs on Iran's nuclear program. The US withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Tehran, which announced a gradual reduction of its commitments on nuclear research and uranium enrichment.
