Iran is set to engage in discussions regarding its contentious nuclear program with three European nations on November 29, as announced by the Iranian foreign ministry on Sunday. This announcement follows a recent resolution passed by the U.N. atomic watchdog against Tehran.

In response to the resolution, which was introduced by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, Iranian officials indicated that they would implement various measures, including the activation of several new and advanced centrifuges used for uranium enrichment.

According to Japan’s Kyodo news agency, which was the first to report the upcoming meeting scheduled for Friday in Geneva, the administration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is actively seeking a resolution to the nuclear stalemate before the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in January.

A senior official from Iran confirmed that the meeting will proceed as planned next Friday, emphasizing that Tehran has consistently maintained that the nuclear issue should be addressed through diplomatic means and has never withdrawn from negotiations.

Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry, later stated that the deputy foreign ministers of Iran, France, Germany, and Britain would participate in the discussions, which are expected to encompass both regional matters and the nuclear agenda.

Baghaei did not specify the location of the talks. A representative from the Swiss foreign ministry referred inquiries to the countries mentioned in the Kyodo report.

“Discussions will cover a variety of regional topics, including the situations in Palestine and Lebanon, as well as the nuclear issue,” Baghaei noted.

In 2018, the Trump administration withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran and six other major nations, subsequently reinstating severe sanctions against Iran. This action led Tehran to breach the nuclear restrictions outlined in the agreement, including actions such as increasing its enriched uranium stockpiles, enhancing the purity of the enrichment process, and deploying advanced centrifuges to accelerate production.

Efforts for indirect negotiations between President Joe Biden’s administration and Tehran aimed at restoring the agreement have not been successful. However, during his election campaign in September, Trump remarked, “We must reach an agreement, as the repercussions are untenable. We need to secure a deal.”
