Iran, EU officials meet on N-deal amid tensions
TEHRAN: Iran´s deputy foreign minister met a top EU diplomat on Saturday to discuss the future of the troubled nuclear deal, state media said, amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The meeting in Tehran between Abbas Araghchi and Helga Schmid, deputy to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, focused on the 2015 nuclear deal while also touching upon "regional and international issues", according to IRNA news agency.
The talks follow attacks Thursday on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman that the United States has blamed on Iran, despite Tehran´s denials.
US-Iran strains have escalated since President Donald Trump withdrew last year from the landmark nuclear deal which Iran signed with world powers.
The EU is an ardent backer of the deal and has pledged to support Tehran in the face of crippling US sanctions.
