Negotiators in Vienna resumed talks on Monday over reviving Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, with hopes of quick progress muted after a hard-line new Government in Tehran led to a more than five-month hiatus.
The remaining signatories to the nuclear deal formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action — Iran, Russia, China, France, Germany and Britain — convened at the Palais Coburg, the luxury hotel where the agreement was signed six years ago.
The US remains outside of the negotiations as it has for other talks since leaving the deal under then-President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran. Other members will brief the US delegation later.
