TEHRAN: Top EU diplomat Josep Borrell is expected in Tehran on Monday, Iran’s foreign ministry announced a day ahead of the visit, amid new tensions over the Iranian nuclear issue. Borrell “will visit Iran tomorrow for the first time since taking office (in early December). His visit comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West over the Islamic republic’s nuclear programme. All parties “have reaffirmed their determination to preserve the accord, which is in everyone’s interest,” he said at the time. The European parties to the agreement triggered a complaint mechanism in January in an attempt to urge Tehran to return to the full implementation of its commitments.
