Iran's Zarif arrives for surprise G7 talks, no plan to meet U.S.

BIARRITZ, France - In a surprise move, Iran’s foreign minister flew in for talks at the group of seven leaders’ summit on Sunday as French President Emmanuel Macron ramps up efforts to ease tensions between Tehran and Washington, although a U.S.-Iran meeting was not scheduled.

However, in a dramatic diplomatic move at the G7 summit, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif jetted into the southwestern town of Biarritz, delaying a planned trip to Asia. “Yesterday there was a substantial discussion between G7 leaders and it is important to now update Zarif in order to keep closing the gap...on the conditions with which we could de-escalate the tensions and create breathing space for negotiations.”It was not clear whether U.S. President Donald Trump had been informed of Zarif’s visit, although Macron lunched with the U.S. leader on Saturday and the leaders discussed Iran at length in the evening.

Trump had earlier appeared to brush aside French efforts to mediate with Iran, saying that while he was happy for Macron to reach out to Tehran to defuse tensions he would carry on with his own initiatives.Macron, who has taken the lead in Europe in trying to salvage Iran’s nuclear deal and avert a deeper crisis in the Middle East, met Zarif in Paris on Friday.

While his European allies also want new talks, they believe the nuclear deal must be upheld, given it puts curbs on Iran’s nuclear program.

The G7 was suppose to meet up for a peaceful and Secure Tomorrows for all. But once inviting a Terrorist like JZarif which is the sponsor of Terrorism in the region, the world will know no peace! SHAME!! EmmanuelMacron eu_eeas foreignoffice AuswaertigesAmt CanadaFP

Good job

Nice power play Macron..

Surprise!

There is no,reason to meet with trump

Good, its time the rest of the world ignores warmongering America and israel and make a new path towards peace and understanding between countries

This should be fun at a meeting where POTUS is already irritated...

Not a surprise.🙄

Since 1979 the region in 🔥

ظریف با اون لبخند کثافتش خودش رو فرو کرده به اجلاس G7 و اینجور که بوش میاد به علت افزایش فشار و فرکانس بالای تلنبیشین (تلنبه بر میلیمتر مربع در ثانیه) قراره لیس مجلسی به بیضه تمامی قدرت‌های جهانی بزنه، شاید فرجی شد.

AWESOME!!!!!

Low level economic regime. G7 is out of Tehran’s league.

Games....

Bet the Israeli team is full swing to scuttle any talk, and are on the phone talking to Bolton to stop Trump from any sort of talk with Iranians.

Will he meet with DT?

Does he plan on talking to himself?
