As Washington prepares for a new president who has pledged to rejoin the Iranian nuclear deal under certain conditions, its remaining signatories are discussing ways to salvage the landmark accord amid heightened tensions between Tehran and the West.
Representatives from China, France, Russia, Iran, Germany and the United Kingdom took part in a virtual meeting Wednesday chaired by senior European Union official Helga Schmid. A statement from the office of the EU’s high representative said participants of the joint commission discussed preserving the deal and “how to ensure the full and effective implementation of the agreement by all sides in light of existing challenges.”
