GENEVA, Switzerland — Iran was to hold talks with Britain, France and Germany in Geneva on Friday over its nuclear programme, less than two months before Donald Trump returns as US president.
The meeting is shrouded in discretion, with the countries' foreign ministries giving away few details on what they will discuss. Iran ian diplomat Majid Takht-Ravanchi, the political deputy to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, will represent Iran in Friday's talks, which follow on from a meeting in New York in September.
Last week, the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency adopted a resolution proposed by Britain, France, Germany and the United States condemning Iran for its lack of cooperation on nuclear issues.The chiding at the IAEA prompted a defiant response from Iran, which described the move as 'politically motivated' and in response announced the launch of 'new advanced centrifuges' designed to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium.
