Iran, Russia and China hold nuclear talks in Tehran

Iran, Russia and China have held a trilateral meeting in Tehran, discussing nuclear negotiations and sanctions on Iran, according to state news agency IRNA.

The meeting focused on the status of nuclear negotiations, the lifting of sanctions on Iran, and broader regional security issues.

According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the discussions highlighted the shared determination of the three countries to deepen coordination on nuclear diplomacy, particularly in the face of continued Western pressure.

The delegations exchanged views on how to strengthen multilateral cooperation and counter what they described as “oppressive” sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies.

Participants agreed to hold further consultations in the coming weeks at different levels, underscoring the strategic alignment among the three nations in ongoing diplomatic efforts.

The meeting in Tehran comes ahead of Iran holding talks with European nations on Friday (25 July).

On the sidelines of Tuesday's meeting, Russia’s and China’s representatives also held separate bilateral talks with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs and the Director General for International Peace and Security. These sessions reportedly focused on technical aspects of the nuclear file, regional security frameworks, and the evolving geopolitical landscape in the Middle East and Asia.
