European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini met with the leaders of France, Germany and the U.K. in Brussels on Friday morning to discuss Iran nuclear negotiations, as the main nuclear talks in Switzerland moved closer to the deadline without a breakthrough.
With a March 31 deadline fast approaching, Mogherini met Prime Minister David Cameron, President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels to exchange views amid conflicting reports about what progress is being made.
France, Germany and the U.K. are three of the group of six global powers that is negotiating with the Iranian regime over its nuclear program. Ms. Mogherini is the formal chair of the six power group, which also includes the U.S., Russia and China.
The Iranian regime and the six power group have until the end of March to agree a political framework deal for the nuclear talks.
French government sources said the discussions, which lasted 40 minutes, “were a useful exchange of views.”
