Iranian and European officials will hold nuclear talks in Istanbul on Friday as tensions simmer over Tehran’s nuclear program after it was targeted by a US military strike last month.

Iranian and European delegations will gather in Istanbul, Turkey, on Friday for fresh talks on Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran said it would continue nuclear talks with European powers after "serious, frank, and detailed" conversations on Friday, the first such face-to-face meeting since Israel and the U.S. bombed Iran last month.
