France says US-Iran nuclear talks must conform with European interests

Paris, London and Berlin will be vigilant regarding nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran to ensure they conform with European interests, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has stated.

“We will be vigilant, along with our British and German friends and partners, to ensure that any (US-Iran) negotiations that may take place comply with our security interests with regard to Iran’s nuclear programme,” Barrot said as he arrived for an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Steve Witkoff, the US president’s special envoy for West Asia affairs, led the first round of indirect talks in the Omani capital of Muscat on Saturday.

Both sides described the talks as positive and constructive, with Araghchi saying that the next round is expected to take place on April 19 at the same level.

In 2018 and during his first term in office, Donald Trump withdrew the United States from a previous agreement on Iran’s nuclear program – formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – and launched a maximum pressure campaign against the country.

Trump restored that policy after returning to the White House for a second term in January, but he has since signaled a willingness to make a new deal to replace the JCPOA.
