Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator and his U.S. counterpart are heading to Doha, Qatar in the latest attempt to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and end a months-long standoff that has inflamed tensions in the oil-rich Persian Gulf.
Ali Bagheri Kani will travel to Doha on Tuesday in order to “negotiate the removal of sanctions on Iran,” and the talks will resume that day, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported. A U.S. State Department official, who asked not to be identified, confirmed the talks are restarting this week.
Robert Malley, the U.S. Special Envoy for Iran, was already on his way to Qatar on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, who discussed the negotiations on condition of anonymity.
