IRAN will hold nuclear talks in Rome on Friday with Britain, France and Germany a bid to improve relations amid ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said today. 

The meeting in the Italian capital will take place ahead of a fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States this weekend, also in Italy. 

The negotiations aim to reach a deal to limit Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for easing US economic sanctions, which have heavily affected Tehran.
