Under Trump's shadow, Iran-Europe nuclear talks to be test of diplomacy

Firstpost  

Ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump’s return to White House in January, European and Iranian diplomats are exploring whether they can have serious talks over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme Rewriting the rules of engagement is challenging, but undoubtedly both Iran and Israel have made a symbolic statement and managed the escalation cycle wherein they have played to the gallery as far as their domestic audience is concerned European and Iranian diplomats met on Friday to discuss whether they can engage in serious talks, including over Iran’s disputed nuclear programme, before Donald Trump returns to the White House in January. The E3, the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump abandoned, have adopted a tougher stance on Iran in recent months, notably since Tehran ramped up its military support to Russia. Three Iranian officials said Tehran’s primary objective will be finding ways to secure lifting of sanctions imposed since Trump reneged on the 2015 nuclear deal. Good faith Since Trump abandoned the nuclear deal in 2018, Iran has accelerated its nuclear programme while limiting the IAEA’s ability to monitor it.
