Tehran

The Iranian government has confirmed that the country's negotiating team will be in Doha on Tuesday for talks to revive Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani will lead the Iranian negotiating team. The talks are being held indirectly with the US, with mediation of the European Union

On June 25, Iran and the EU announced that the talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, will be resumed in the coming days.

The nuclear talks began in April 2021 in Vienna, but were suspended in March this year over political differences between Tehran and Washington.

Iran insists on obtaining guarantees that succeeding US governments would not drop the deal again and calls for lifting the sanctions in a verifiable manner.

In 2015, Iran signed the nuclear deal with world powers, including the US.

However, former US President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of the pact in May 2018 and re-imposed sanctions on Iran, which prompted the latter to drop some of its nuclear commitments.
