Representatives from Iran, China, and Russia will discuss Iran's nuclear program in Tehran on July 22, according to the Mehr agency, citing comments from Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei. The spokesman added that currently, there are no plans for Iran-U.S. negotiations.

Earlier, it was reported that negotiations regarding the nuclear program would take place in Istanbul on July 25 between representatives of Iran, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. On Sunday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Iranian national television, "The Europeans must be informed of Tehran's stance, and that Iran is undoubtedly stronger than before in defending its rights." According to Axios sources, Europeans are expected to try to convince Tehran that it can avoid sanctions if it takes steps to prove the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
