Iran and the major world powers still party to a 2015 nuclear deal have begun official talks in Vienna, Austria as attempts to return the United States to the landmark accord intensify. Talks are under way in the city’s Imperial and Grand hotels between representatives of Iran, China, Russia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. For the first time since then-US President Donald Trump unilaterally abandoned the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018, the US is also in the same town trying to save the accord.
