EU, Iran to hold nuclear talks in Brussels this week

The EU's top negotiator will meet his counterpart from Tehran this week in Brussels for talks on restarting negotiations over Iran's nuclear deal, a spokesman for the bloc has said. The EU and world powers are scrambling to try to get negotiations in Vienna aimed at reviving the 2015 accord back on track after the election of a hardliner in Tehran. Iran's chief negotiator on the deal, Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri, wrote on Twitter that he would be in Brussels today "to continue our talks on result-oriented negotiations". EU spokesman Peter Stano said the meeting would involve the bloc's lead negotiator Enrique Mora.
