Iran nuclear deal talks to resume in Vienna this weekend
US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said talks aimed at reviving the nuclear deal will resume this weekend in Vienna.
As Iran gears up for a presidential election, negotiators will return to Vienna for the sixth round of talks this weekend aimed at reviving the landmark nuclear agreement, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said on Wednesday.
“I know that the negotiation will start again over this coming weekend,” Sherman said during a virtual event organized by the German Marshall Fund.
Sherman added that “there’s been a lot of progress made,” but “until the last detail is nailed down, and I mean nailed down, we will not know if we have an agreement.”
The original signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal have been meeting in the Austrian capital since April to discuss a potential US and Iranian return to the accord known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley is leading the US negotiating team, which is participating in indirect talks with the Iranians.
