Iran to Discuss Nuclear Program with EU-3

Iran is set to meet with representatives from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom on November 29 to discuss its nuclear program, following a resolution by the UN's IAEA condemning Tehran for its lack of cooperation. Despite a defiant response from Iran, officials have shown a willingness to engage in talks, particularly ahead of the anticipated return of US President-elect Donald Trump, who previously enforced a 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran. Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran's political deputy foreign minister, will lead the negotiations, having indicated that Tehran's primary goal is to avoid detrimental outcomes as tensions escalate. The IAEA's resolution, supported by European nations and the US, criticized Iran for its nuclear activities, prompting Tehran to announce the development of new advanced centrifuges to enhance its uranium enrichment capabilities. Observers within Iran express skepticism about the effectiveness of negotiations, cautioning against entering discussions without clear objectives, while hardline media characterize the talks as potentially detrimental to national interests.
