Consultations with the participation of Iran and the EU (Germany, the United Kingdom and France), which were to be held ahead of the talks on the Nuclear Program between Tehran and Washington, will not take place.
The statement came from French Foreign Minister Jean-Nelel Barron in an interview with Agence France Presse. "It simply came to our notice then.
Since these talks will not take place, the technical meeting has lost its relevance, at least for now, "the agency quoted the minister.
Barro said that the EU is ready to restore sanctions against Iran if the talks fail.
"If we have agreement on Iran in a few weeks about the visible, verifiable and reliable dismantling of its nuclear program, we, the Europeans, will resume the sanctions that we have eliminated when the agreement was reached," the French Foreign Minister said.
