Iran Nuclear Accord Parties Meet to Try to Salvage Deal

RFE/RL

   The remaining members of the floundering Iran nuclear deal are set to
   meet in Vienna Wednesday for the first time since Germany, France, and
   Britain initiated dispute procedures that could reimpose U.N. sanctions
   on Tehran.

   The talks come as the signatories try to rescue the landmark 2015
   accord, which has been faltering since U.S. President Donald Trump
   unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018 and enforced crippling sanctions
   on Iran.

   It will be attended by senior diplomats from Iran, Britain, France,
   Germany, China, Russia, and the EU.

   They have promised to uphold the deal that saw Iran agree to reduce its
   program of developing nuclear weapons in exchange for an easing of
   sanctions, even without Washington's support.

   However, since the U.S. withdrawal, Iran has stepped up its program in
   defiance of Washington's "maximum pressure" campaign."
