Meeting Between Iran's Chief Nuclear Negotiator and EU Representative in Qatar

Ali Bagheri, the chief nuclear negotiator of the Islamic Republic, met and discussed with Enrique Mora, the EU mediator for the revival of the JCPOA, in Doha, the capital of Qatar. According to Reuters, this meeting was part of ongoing efforts to revive the JCPOA. The report states that Tehran and Washington are trying to reduce tensions and help end the current deadlock in reviving the JCPOA by reaching a 'mutual understanding.' Following the failure of the JCPOA revival negotiations, Iranian and Western officials have met and discussed several times in recent weeks. According to Reuters, negotiators are looking to take steps to halt the rapid nuclear advancement of the Islamic Republic, release several American and European citizens imprisoned in Iran, and also free some of Iran's assets abroad. Ali Bagheri Kani, the chief nuclear negotiator of the Islamic Republic, tweeted without mentioning the details of the Doha talks that he had a 'serious and constructive' meeting with Enrique Mora and discussed a wide range of topics, including 'sanctions relief' negotiations. He had previously reported that he met with his British, German, and French counterparts in the United Arab Emirates to discuss 'a range of topics and mutual concerns.' The meeting between Mr. Bagheri and Mr. Mora in the Qatari capital took place a few days after Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, stated that a new nuclear agreement with the West is possible.
