France warned Iran on Friday against staging “sham” talks when world powers resume negotiations on the landmark nuclear deal in Vienna later this month. 

France, Iran and the other signatories to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, are set to resume negotiations over the landmark nuclear accord in the Austrian capital on Nov. 29. They’re the first such talks since the election of hardline Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi in June.
