Iran and the European troika –the UK, France and Germany- have agreed to resume their nuclear negotiations, Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday, quoting an informed source.
The source told Tasnim that Tehran and the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal have come to an agreement in principle on the resumption of the talks about Iran’s nuclear program, but the timing and location of the negotiations are under debate.
The decision as to which country will be hosting the upcoming talks has not been finalized yet, the source said.
Tasnim had obtained information earlier that Iran was considering a request from the European troika, referred to as EU3, about the resumption of talks on the nuclear issue and the removal of sanctions.
Reports suggest that the next round of talks will be held at the level of deputy foreign ministers of Iran, the UK, France and Germany.

Tehran and Washington were engaged in negotiations led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US President Donald Trump’s foreign envoy Steve Witkoff and had conducted five rounds of indirect talks mediated by Oman when Israel launched a series of unprovoked aggressions, which upended the process.
While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear, and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on June 22.
The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III, which inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.
Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 has brought the fighting to a halt.
