French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday the negotiations on reviving a 2015 nuclear deal between world powers and Iran known as the JCPOA needed to succeed while taking into account the interests of regional partners, including Israel.
International talks on Iran's nuclear programme will restart on Monday after a five-month hiatus with Tehran saying it is "determined" to reach a deal but analysts predicting major obstacles to any speedy resumption of the 2015 nuclear deal. David Smith, Washington Bureau Chief for The Guardian, tells us more.
The US has joined talks in Vienna on salvaging the Iran nuclear agreement, which the Trump administration withdrew from in 2018. Iran is demanding an end to the crippling sanctions imposed by the former president, and has refused to meet with American officials face to face. FRANCE 24’s chief foreign editor Robert Parsons says the talks are a positive sign for proponents of the JCPOA deal.
European foreign ministers are expected to discuss the Iran crisis and the 2015 nuclear deal at an emergency meeting in Brussels on Friday.
