DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates' top national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan will visit Tehran on Monday to meet top officials and discuss ways to expand bilateral ties, a news outlet affiliated with Iran's Supreme National Security Council said on Sunday.

The visit comes a week after negotiations between Iran and major powers resumed in Vienna to revive a 2015 nuclear deal, lift U.S. sanctions on Iran and put a stop to escalations in Tehran's nuclear programme.
