Iran says return of US to nuclear deal does not require talks

A US move to rejoin Iran’s 2025 nuclear deal with world powers does not require any talks, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told a virtual meeting of the deal’s remaining participants on Friday, according to the semi-official Fars new agency.

“Iran will suspend its steps (scaling back compliance with deal terms) as soon as (US) sanctions are lifted and this is verified,” Araqchi also said, according to Fars.
