EU’s Kallas says Iran talks need nuclear experts to avoid ‘weaker’ deal

Apr 24, 2026, 08:06 GMT+1

Talks with Iran should include nuclear experts or risk producing a weaker agreement, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

“If the talks are only about the nuclear and there are no nuclear experts around the table, then we will end up with an agreement that is weaker than the JCPOA was,” she said.

Kallas added that failing to address broader issues such as missile programmes and regional activities could result in “a more dangerous Iran.”
