Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Wednesday strongly rejected reports about a new agreement proposed by the three European countries (France, Britain and Germany) plus China and Russia that would address Iran’s regional role and missiles program, saying the countries could put a new agreement  on the table but only within the context of the 2015 nuclear deal. 
“This report was completely baseless. Even Reuters–which published it –later denied it,” Zarif said, ISNA reported.
On Sunday, Reuters cited an unnamed senior EU official as saying there would be discussions about a possible new pact between Iran and world powers that would cover the same ground as the 2015 deal but with some additions to appease the United States.
The discussion are to take place in Vienna on Friday and diplomats from Britain, Germany, France, China and Russia will discuss the next steps after the May 8 decision by US President Donald Trump to exit the nuclear accord, the report said.
“[The discussions] could include provisions to address US concerns over Iran’s ballistic missile program and Tehran’s support of armed groups in the Middle East, the source said.
