Iran nuclear talks to resume Sept. 18
Iran and the six world powers will resume nuclear negotiations on Sept. 18 in New York, as the parties seek to reach a comprehensive nuclear accord by Nov. 24.
Iran and the six world powers (UN Security Council plus Germany, or P5+1) will resume nuclear negotiations on Sept. 18 in New York, on the sidelines of the opening session of the UN General Assembly, a western official said Sept. 3.
Plans to resume talks come as the parties seek to reach a comprehensive Iran nuclear accord by the extended deadline of Nov. 24, after failure to reach a deal in July.
While the talks in New York are expected to convene at the political director level, foreign ministers from the P5+1 and Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are also expected to meet together in New York during the UNGA events, officials said.
Though it has not been decided yet if Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will come to New York, he told an Iran press conference Aug. 30, the expectation in Iran is that he will likely attend.
