France calls on Iran to be 'constructive' at nuclear talks in Vienna
 [France24] French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has called on Iran to show a constructive stance in indirect talks to be held with a US delegation in Vienna next week as part of broader efforts to revive a 2015 nuclear deal.I take it nothing at all was learned from the Compiègne Wagon Armistice of 1940. Following a call with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif on Saturday, Le Drian said in a statement that he had asked Iran to refrain from further violations of current nuclear commitments to aid discussions. "I encouraged Iran to be constructive in the discussions that are set to take place," Le Drian said. "They are meant to help identify in the coming weeks the steps that will be needed in order to return to full compliance with the nuclear deal." The European Union is pushing to bring US President Joe Biden's administration back into the nuclear accord to limit Tehran's ambitions. The United States will not take part directly in the discussions also involving China, Germany, Russia, and Britain. But for the first time since former leader Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran agreement in 2018, a US delegation will be present. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-04-04 |
