Washington: US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in New York on Tuesday to discuss implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, American and Iranian officials told Reuters on Monday.
"Yes, they'll meet tomorrow in New York," a US official said.
Iran and six major world powers clinched the nuclear agreement in July 2015, allowing for the easing of some sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union and United Nations in return for Tehran putting long-term curbs on its nuclear program.
Current US policy bars foreign banks from clearing dollar-based transactions with Iran through US banks. But US officials have said the Obama administration is considering ways in which non-US companies can use the dollar in some business transactions with Iran.
