Talks to salvage Iran nuclear deal resume in Vienna, Russian envoy says
Talks to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal formally resumed on Thursday with a meeting of the remaining parties except for the United States, Russia's top envoy to the talks said on Twitter.
 
"The #JCPOA participants now hold an official meeting of the Joint Commission," Mikhail Ulyanov tweeted, using the deal's formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
The top U.S. envoy, Rob Malley, will not arrive until this weekend.
 
The indirect U.S.-Iranian talks in Vienna, in which other diplomats from the remaining parties to the deal - France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China - shuttle between them because Tehran refuses direct contact with Washington, aim to get both sides to resume full compliance.
 
However, last week's discussions broke off with European and U.S. officials voicing dismay at sweeping demands by Iran's new, hardline government under anti-Western President Ebrahim Raisi, whose June election caused a five-month pause in the talks.
 
Western officials have said Iran has abandoned any compromises it had made in the previous six rounds of talks, pocketed those made by others, and demanded more last week.
