Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will hold a joint telephone call on Friday with his counterparts from Britain, France, and Germany, which is also known as the E3.

Regarding the latest situation of Iran-Europe negotiations on the nuclear issue, Esmaeil Baghaei stated in a statement on Friday that, “Based on the coordination made, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and foreign ministers of France, Britain, Germany, and EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas will hold a telephone conversation on Friday to discuss issues related to the removal of anti-Iran sanctions.”
The discussions will also cover the need for the involved parties to respond to criminal attacks against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, he added.
“Foreign ministers of Iran and the European troika will discuss the nuclear issue and Iran’s demands, especially regarding the lifting of oppressive sanctions imposed against Iran, as well as the need for the other parties to be held accountable for the criminal attacks carried out by the US against Iran’s nuclear facilities.”
Israel launched the large-scale assaults against Iran on June 13. Washington also joined the Israeli war and bombed three of Iran’s main nuclear facilities on the pretext of preventing Iran from what it claimed to be developing nuclear weapons. The war was halted on June 24 after Israel was forced to cease its aggression unilaterally.
Prior to this, American journalist Laura Rozen reported on Thursday evening that the foreign ministers from the three European countries, Britain, France, and Germany (known as the European Troika), had decided to hold telephone consultations with Araghchi on Friday.
She wrote in a post on her X account that ” New on Iran: Informed source tells me that: the E3 foreign ministers will jointly hold a phone conversation with Iran FM Araghchi tomorrow regarding the snapback mechanism.”
