Some good news for stalled Iran nuclear talks? The EU’s Iran nuclear talks coordinator is set to visit Tehran on Tuesday in a bid to break the impasse in negotiations to restore the 2015 nuclear pact, Iranian state-run Nour News reported. Talks have been stalled since March after Iran added a last-minute demand that the US remove the Revolutionary Guards from its terror list. The EU is now seeking a “middle way” to end the deadlock, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told the Financial Times.
More missile tests from North Korea: Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile from a submarine into the sea off North Korea’s east coast yesterday morning, South Korea said. The test comes days before Seoul is set to inaugurate its new president — who is expected to take a tough stance against any North Korean provocation. (Reuters)
