Istanbul: Iran met with European powers to discuss its nuclear talks with Washington on Friday, while US President Donald Trump released a new threat unless the Iranian was “fast” toward an agreement.

After the meeting in Istanbul, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi’s warning of “non -refundable” results, if Britain, France and Germany were terminated by UN sanctions under an important 2015 agreement, they pay for UN sanctions.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazim Ghar Babdi, who participated in a talks in the Turkish city, said in a post on X: “We exchanged ideas and discussed the latest status and sanctions of indirect nuclear talks.”

Ghar Babdi added that if necessary, Tehran will once again meet with China, Russia and the United States in the so-called E3-2015 agreement.

In a post on X, Christian Turner, the political director of the Office of the UK office, said the parties “confirmed his commitment to the dialogue, welcomed the US/Iran’s ongoing talks, and agreed to meet again immediately.”

During his first term, Trump effectively targeted the deal by unilaterally abandoning it in 2018 and imposing sanctions on Iran’s banking sector and oil exports. A year later, Iran responded by returning its promises under the deal, which rescued Iran from sanctions for non -surveillance sanctions on Iran’s nuclear activities.

Addressing Friday in Abu Dhabi, Trump said his administration had suggested a new deal to Iran after four rounds of talks in recent weeks. “They know that they have to move fast or get worse,” Trump said.

Oman’s mediation Iran-US talks were the highest levels of relations between the two enemies since Washington abandoned the nuclear deal. Aragchi had previously denied a report about a draft deal, saying “we have not been given anything”.

It is the weight of all three European powers to mobilize the “Snapback” mechanism of the 2015 deal, which will restore UN sanctions in response to Iranian non -compliance. This option is an option that ends in October.

Iran’s top diplomat has warned that such a stance is “threatened to incite the global nuclear proliferation crisis that will primarily affect the European people itself.” However, while writing in the French weekly Le Point, he also noted that Tehran is ready to change the page “in its relations with Europe.”

“Iran and all three European countries are determined to maintain diplomacy and use more,” Gharbadi said after Friday meeting.

Tehran’s official IRNA News Agency said that the Deputy Secretary General of the European Union, Political Affairs, Olav Scag, will meet with the Iranian delegation later on Friday. An American official said Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio met with French, British and German national security advisers in Istanbul on Friday to discuss Iran and Ukraine.

Aragchi has said that talks with the European and the United States are moving on a separate track. China, who spoke in its nuclear program with Iran, said before Friday’s talks that it was “committed to promoting the political and diplomatic settlement of the Iranian problem”.

According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, Beijing also appreciated Iran’s commitment to not develop nuclear weapons. “Addressing a visit to Qatar on Thursday, Trump said the United States was approaching an agreement with Iran that stops military action.

He said, “We are not making any nuclear dust in Iran. Since returning to office, Trump has revived his” maximum pressure “policy on Tehran, supporting nuclear diplomacy, but if they fail, they warn military action.

Trump has said that he presented the Iranian leadership with a “olive branch”, adding that it was a offer that would not last forever. He further threatened that if the talks failed, it would include sending Iranian oil exports to zero.

Iran currently pays up to 60 % of the uranium, which is far beyond 3.67 % of the 2015 deal, but less than 90 % needed for nuclear warheads. Tehran insists that the right to strengthen uranium for peaceful purposes is “non -negotiation”, but he says it will be open to temporary sanctions on how much uranium and at what level it is enriched.

On Wednesday, Iran’s nuclear energy agency chief Mohammed Eslami reiterated that Tehran “does not seek nuclear militancy”, adding that enrichment is under the supervision of UN nuclear care. He emphasized, “Iran is not accepted to eliminate enrichment.”
