Iran open to resuming nuclear accord talks: acting FM

Tehran remains open to resuming negotiations with Washington on restoring their participation in a nuclear agreement, Iran’s acting foreign minister told Newsweek magazine in an interview published on Tuesday.

Ali Bagheri Kani’s remarks come as he prepares to address the United Nations Security Council in New York.

The United States under then-president Donald Trump withdrew in 2018 from the nuclear accord between Iran and six world powers which restricted Tehran’s nuclear programmes.
