Iran and EU confirm nuclear talks will resume on 29 November

Nuclear talks between Iran and world powers, including the UK, will resume once again on 29 November 2021 in Vienna.

“The Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will convene in a physical format on 29 November in Vienna,” said the EU’s European External Action Service in a statement.

The meeting will be chaired by Enrique Mora on behalf of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, the statement added.

The EU statement said that the remaining parties to the deal – Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and Iran – will all be involved in the talks.

“Participants will continue the discussions on the prospect of a possible return of the United States to the JCPOA and how to ensure the full and effective implementation of the agreement by all sides,” it said.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri, Iran’s lead negotiator, confirmed the November 29 resumption of talks in Vienna. He tweeted that the date had been set in a phone call with Mora.

The United States is currently not part of the Iran nuclear deal after it exited in 2018 on the orders of then-president Donald Trump, a move that was welcomed by CUFI.

The Iran deal was disastrous in the fact it allowed Iran to continue developing its nuclear ambitions above the levels needed for domestic energy needs. It also gave tens of billions of pounds to the Iranian regime which enabled it to fund terror groups and destabilise the region.

Iran has lived up to its bad reputation and continues to fund terror, threaten Israel and is doing all it can to edge closer to nuclear weapons. The world needs to wake up to the threat of Iran and Christians need to pray for these talks. Israel’s safety is at stake.
