Sherman heads to Geneva for Iran nuclear talks
US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman will travel to Geneva for P5+1 talks with Iran over the implementation of the interim nuclear deal.
US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman will travel to Geneva later this week for talks on implementing the interim Iran nuclear accord, the State Department will announce Wednesday, Al-Monitor has learned.
Negotiators from Iran and six world powers hope to try to finalize agreement on implementing the Joint Plan of Action signed in Geneva November 24.
Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and European Union deputy foreign policy chief Helga Schmid are due to meet bilaterally in Geneva, starting with a dinner Thursday night and continuing on Friday, an EU spokesperson told Al-Monitor. That suggests that Sherman's meetings with Iran may be held bilaterally as well.
Political directors from the other members of the P5+1 were not expected to be in Geneva, sources said.
