In a post on his X account on Friday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said negotiations with the representative of the UK, France and Germany have been held in Istanbul.
“(Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid) Takht Ravanchi and I hosted E3 Political Directors in Istanbul,” he said.
