Iran-US nuclear talks could resume by next month

Talks on restoring the Iran-US nuclear accord are due to begin before the end of November, the country’s deputy foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, said on Twitter. Kani and the EU’s top diplomat Enrique Mora agreed on a rough date to restart the negotiations following a meeting in Brussels, with an exact date yet to be determined. Talks on the pact have been stalled for several months, after Iran elected conservative hardliner Ebrahim Raisi to the presidency. Raisi harshly criticized the US in his inaugural UN address yesterday, calling the sanctions “crimes against humanity.”
