DUBAI, Oct 25 Reuters - Iran will hold a second meeting this month with the European Union's Enrique Mora, who coordinates talks between Tehran and six powers on reviving a 2015 nuclear pact, Tehran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani tweeted on Monday.
I will meet EU coordinator in Tehran on Wednesday to continue our talks on result-oriented negotiations between Iran and the six powers Bagheri Kani tweeted, alluding to Mora's initial round of discussions in Brussels on Oct. 14.
In April, Iran and six powers started talks to reinstate the deal, which then-U. Donald Trump ditched Iran three years ago before reimposing sanctions that crippled its economy. But the talks were put on hold after Iran's presidential election in June, which brought anti-Western hardliner Ebrahim Raisi to power.
The United States and European powers have urged Iran to return to negotiations, warning that time is running out as the Islamic Republic's nuclear enrichment programme is advancing well beyond the limits set by the nuclear pact.
In response to Trump's reimposition of sanctions, Tehran has breached the deal by rebuilding stockpiles of enriched uranium, refining it to higher fissile purity and installing advanced centrifuges to speed up output.
Iran has repeatedly said it will return to negotiations but has yet to specify a date.
Bagheri Kani is determined to engage in negotiations that would remove unlawful and cruel sanctions in a full effective manner, secure normalization of trade economic relations with Iran and provide credible guarantee for no further reneging, tweeted Iran.
