Vienna has been hosting talks between Iran and five international partners (Russia, the UK, China, France, Germany) focusing on efforts to salvage the Iranian nuclear deal as it was initially meant to function. The sides have been discussing the issue of lifting US sanctions against Iran, Iran’s implementation of its nuclear obligations as well as the US rejoining the deal. Representatives of the parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are also conducting separate consultations with the US delegation without Iran. The delegations were initially expecting to complete their mission in late May and later in early June.
