Iran is planning to hold nuclear talks with Britain, France, Germany, and the European Union on November 29, Friday, in Geneva, according to reports from Kyodo news agency and confirmed by the Iranian Foreign Ministry. The discussions aim to revive the stalled 2015 nuclear deal, resuming negotiations after two years, before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in the United States. This move comes as Iran signals readiness to reach a new nuclear agreement, with Ali Larijani, a top advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, announcing Tehran's willingness to engage with the incoming Trump administration if compensation is paid. Following a resolution passed by the UN atomic watchdog amid rising tensions, Iran ramped up its uranium enrichment efforts in response.
