In a significant development regarding the 2015 nuclear deal, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has confirmed a crucial meeting between senior diplomats from Iran and the European signatories. This Iran-Europe meeting is set to take place this week in Istanbul, Turkey.

During a discussion at the Tehran International Book Fair on Wednesday, Baqaei revealed that the meeting is scheduled for Friday. The primary focus of the talks will be to continue consultations with key European nations—Germany, Britain, and France—as well as to address the ongoing indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States.

Here’s a brief overview of the current situation:

  • The diplomatic meeting is part of ongoing efforts to address the nuclear file.
  • This will mark the fourth meeting of the European troika (E3) with Iranian officials regarding the nuclear agreement.
  • There has been no official statement from Paris, London, or Berlin about the upcoming talks.
  • The discussions were initially scheduled for earlier this month but were postponed.
  • A previous meeting was meant to occur in Rome on May 3, which also faced delays.
