US, IRAN TO BEGIN INDIRECT DIALOGUE WITH WORLD POWERS ON NUCLEAR PROGRAMMES

  • 02/04/2021

The United States and Iran said  that they would start indirect talks with other major world powers next week to try to get both countries back into an accord limiting Iran's nuclear programme, nearly three years after former President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the deal.State Department spokesperson Ned Price called the resumption of negotiations, scheduled for Tuesday in Austria, 'a healthy step forward.But Price added, 'These remain early days, and we don't anticipate an immediate breakthrough as there will be difficult discussions ahead.'Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, and President Joe Biden has said rejoining the agreement is a priority for his administration.The Biden administration and Iran have differed on any conditions for that to happen, including the timing of the lifting of US sanctions against Iran, and the statemate on those points had threatened to pose a major foreign policy setback for the new Biden administration.
