France is among world powers trying to revive a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that the previous U.S. administration quit and which Israel opposed, deeming its caps insufficient.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian had said Iran was "serious" about finalising a deal in Doha, but that it wouldn't cross its "red lines".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a one-day-visit to the United Arab Emirates to offer his condolences on the passing away of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, former UAE president and Abu Dhabi ruler.

Saudi Arabia is producing 10.5 million bpd and has a nameplate capacity of 12.0 million-12.5 million bpd, which in theory shall allow it to raise production by 2 million.

Tehran for its part said its focus was on sanctions relief, not directly mentioning the nuclear deal.

Turkey's relations with Israel have been improving after years of tensions and tourism is central to the two countries' economic ties.

Russia played a key role in that deal, taking charge of Iran's excess enriched uranium stocks beyond those permitted under the agreement.

That policy was having a "suffocating effect" on civil society, said Mary Lawlor, the UN Special Rapporteur for rights defenders.
