The UK, France, and Germany decided to refrain from adopting a resolution criticizing Iran at the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, DW reported.

The resolution was withdrawn to give Iran the opportunity to return to the negotiating table.

The German Foreign Ministry said that the decision to withdraw the resolution was made to help the diplomatic efforts of the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi. The IAEA Director-General announced Tehran's readiness for talks, which should begin in April. The first technical meeting will take place in Iran at the beginning of the month. The withdrawal of the critical resolution by Europeans again opens the way for diplomacy, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
