U.S. officials say U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is due to meet Friday in Paris with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif for talks on Tehran’s nuclear program.
Kerry has been in Paris to honor the victims of last week’s terror attacks.
The U.S. secretary of state met with Zarif earlier this week in Geneva for what U.S. officials called “substantive” talks on Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran and six world powers – the U.S., Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia – are trying to reach a final deal by a July 1 deadline. The talks were extended after a November deadline for a deal was missed.
The so-called P5 plus 1 countries want Iran to scale back its uranium enrichment program to keep it from being able to build a nuclear bomb. In exchange, sanctions against Iran would be lifted.
