Iran is set to hold talks with Britain, France and Germany in Turkey on Friday, after US President Donald Trump said a nuclear deal with Tehran was "getting close".The Istanbul meeting follows Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's warning of "irreversible" consequences if the European powers move to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran that were lifted under a 2015 deal.

Iran’s president says his country will continue talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not withdraw from its rights because of U.S. threats

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday his country will not back down from "threats" made by U.S. President Donald Trump, although he also favors continued negotiations between the two nations.
