"A range of regional and international issues and topics, including the issues of Palestine and Lebanon, as well as the nuclear issue, will be discussed,” Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Baghaei, however, did not specify where the talks would be held. 

Baghaei said the Friday’s scheduled meeting would be a continuation of talks held between Tehran and the three European countries in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in September.

The United Kingdom on Sunday afternoon confirmed the upcoming meeting between them and Iran.

"We remain committed to taking every diplomatic step to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, including through snapback if necessary,” the UK's Foreign Office confirmed.

The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday adopted a resolution slamming Iran for "a lack of cooperation.” In return, Iran lashed out at the resolution, saying it would launch a "series of new and advanced centrifuges."

"We will substantially increase the enrichment capacity with the utilization of different types of advanced machines," Behrouz Kamalvandi, Iran's atomic energy organization spokesman, told state TV.

During a recent visit to Tehran by IAEA head Rafael Grossi, Iran agreed to cap its stock of near weapons-grade uranium enriched up to 60 percent purity, according to AFP, citing relevant sources on both sides.

In 2015, Iran and world powers signed an agreement that led to the easing of international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.

The United States, however, under the leadership of then-president Donald Trump, unilaterally withdrew from the landmark deal three years later, reimposing economic sanctions on Tehran, causing massive financial damage to the country’s economy, and significantly depreciating its currency, toman.
