The US Special Envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, will visit the Middle East next week, the State Department announced in a statement.

The visit will begin Thursday and will last until November 20, the statement said. The journey will include stops in the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.

Malley “will coordinate our approaches on a broad range of concerns with Iran, including its destabilizing activities in the region and the upcoming seventh round of talks on a mutual return to full compliance with the JCPOA,” the statement noted.

Last week, an Iranian diplomat said that the negotiations will restart November 29 in Vienna.

Iran has gradually breached almost all its commitments with the 2015 nuclear deal it signed with world powers after former US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement in May of 2018.

The negotiations to resume the deal were adjourned on June 20, after Ebrahim Raisi won Iran's presidential election.
