Talks on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are expected to resume on Thursday, France’s foreign minister said, although he added that he feared Iran was playing for time.
“The elements… are not very encouraging,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told a French parliament committee, referring to the seventh round of nuclear talks between Iran and major powers that began on Nov. 29 and paused on Friday.
“We have the feeling the Iranians want to make it last and the longer the talks last, the more they go back on their commitments … and get closer to capacity to get a nuclear weapon,” Le Drian said.
