Diplomats involved in the negotiations in Vienna to revive the Iran nuclear deal returned to their capitals Monday with a draft for a new agreement.
The 2015 deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was struck between Iran, Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US. It gave Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.
Iran has massively expanded its nuclear activities since the pact collapsed in 2018 following Washington’s decision to pull out.
Negotiations to restore the deal have taken months. After the talks drew to a close on Monday, Iran’s chief negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani was headed to Tehran for consultations, according to Iran’s state media.
