Iran and the remaining parties to the landmark nuclear agreement will meet virtually Friday to discuss a possible US return to the deal, an initiative welcomed by the Biden administration. 

Representatives from China, Russia, France, Germany and Britain “will discuss the prospect of a possible return of the United States to the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] and how to ensure the full and effective implementation of the agreement by all sides,” the European Union said in a statement.
