The representatives of Iran and the six world powers are set to resume the next expert -level talks on Tehran’s nuclear energy program in New York.

Experts from Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, China, Russia, France, and Britain – plus Germany will hold a fresh round of talks on May 6-7, Press TV quoted director general for political and international security affairs at Iran’s Foreign Ministry Hamid Baeidinejad as saying.

Negotiations will be held ahead of a fresh round of high-level nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1, scheduled to begin in Vienna on May 13.

… Commenting on the future of talks regarding West-Russia relations over Ukraine events, senior fellow at Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies James M. Dorsey said, “It is of course possible that Russia would want to exploit the nuclear talks for its own purposes in the context of Ukraine.”

“At the same time, Russia also has an interest in the talks succeeding, and certainly does not want to be seen as the reason for a potential breakdown,” Dorsey said.
