Iran to Meet E3 Political Directors in Rome on Friday
PARIS (Reuters) - French, British and German political directors will meet with Iran on Friday in Rome, two diplomatic sources told Reuters, confirming an earlier Reuters exclusive.
Iran is looking to build on the momentum of nuclear negotiations with the United States that resumed in Oman on Saturday and after talks with Russia and China last week.
The moves by Iran to reach out to Britain, France and Germany - known as the E3 - suggest Tehran is keeping its options open, but also wants to assess where the Europeans stand on the possible re-imposition of U.N. sanctions before October, when a resolution ratifying the 2015 accord expires.
