Iran, China, and Russia to Hold Trilateral Talks in Beijing This Friday on JCPOA

Iran, China, and Russia will hold trilateral talks in Beijing this Friday to address Western economic pressure and discuss the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The meeting, announced by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, aims to counter U.S.-led sanctions and strengthen cooperation within BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The agenda includes dismantling 'unjust and oppressive sanctions' against Iran and discussing developments concerning the nuclear issue. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has reiterated Moscow's support for restoring the original JCPOA, while criticizing U.S. efforts to link sanctions relief to unrelated geopolitical demands. The talks underscore Iran's strategic pivot toward Eastern powers and its assertion of a role in an emerging multipolar world order. Key discussions will focus on regional and international developments, as well as cooperation within BRICS and the SCO.
