American Adversaries Meet To 'Coordinate Their Positions' on Iran's Nuclear ProgramThe high-level meeting between Chinese, Iranian, and Russian officials confirms fears of an attempt by the three countries to weaken the U.S.'s negotiation position with TehranAdam Kredo
May 30, 2025Iranian officials on Thursday met with their Chinese and Russian counterparts to discuss ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and the Trump administration. Leaders of the three countries met to "coordinate their positions ahead" of an upcoming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hearing on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
The summit is yet another sign of deepening ties between the United States’ adversaries. Russian president Vladimir Putin earlier this month agreed to extend a line of credit to Iran, begin building a new nuclear facility in the country, and expand operations at an existing plant.
Russian permanent representative to international organizations Mikhail Ulyanov described Thursday’s discussion as "very useful," saying it helps the three countries "coordinate closely our positions," and Iran's deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, confirmed that he met with Chinese and Russian officials to discuss the negotiations.
"In separate meetings with the ambassadors of Russia and China, we reviewed the development and strengthening of cooperation within the framework of these two important groups of countries," Gharibabadi said.
