Arab Sea_Agencies: Nuclear negotiations between Iran and three European countries (Germany, France, and Britain) are scheduled to be held tomorrow, Tuesday, in Geneva, Switzerland. A well-informed source told Tasnim International News Agency that "Iran and the three European countries have agreed to hold these nuclear negotiations," explaining that "the agenda will focus on nuclear issues and the issue of lifting sanctions." According to the report, Majid Takht Ravanchi will head the Iranian delegation in the Geneva negotiations, while deputy foreign ministers will participate from Germany, France, and Britain. The foreign ministers of the three European countries and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy held a joint telephone call last Friday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. During the call, the Iranian side presented Iran's positions regarding the "snapback" mechanism (automatic return of sanctions) and the responsibility of the three European countries and the European Union in this regard, stressing "the legal and moral ineligibility of these countries to resort to this mechanism," and warning of the consequences of such a measure. For their part, the foreign ministers of the three European countries and the High Representative of the European Union reaffirmed during the telephone call Europe's readiness to find a diplomatic solution. In conclusion, it was decided that the talks between Iran, the three European countries, and the European Union would be completed tomorrow, Tuesday, at the level of deputy foreign ministers.
