Iran confirms trilateral nuclear meeting on Nov. 9-10 - (The Nov. 24 deadline)

Iranian foreign minister will meet US Secretary of State and European Union foreign policy chief on November 9-10 to discuss core issues on Iran's nuclear program, an Iranian nuclear negotiator confirmed on Saturday the earlier report by the US State Department.

Mohammad-Javad Zarif will meet US' John Kerry and EU's Catherine Ashton in Muscat of Oman to discuss Iran's uranium enrichment and the anti-Iran sanctions, the unnamed Iranian official was quoted as saying.

The meeting comes two weeks before the November 24 deadline set for a comprehensive deal on the controversial nuclear program of the Islamic republic.

Iran and the P5+1 group of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany agreed in July to extend the nuclear talks for another four months till November 24, as they could not narrow down significant gaps on core issues during the past six months.

The two sides met again about two weeks ago in Vienna, Austria without any major breakthrough.

Tehran is not seeking to extend the talks and trying to reach a comprehensive deal with the six powers before the November 24 deadline, Iran's nuclear negotiator Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi said Tuesday.
