SINCE early December 2021, Vienna has been host to high-level negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran, the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and the EU, in an effort to avert a devastating new war in the Middle East.
The negotiations to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) began last April but halted at the sixth round in June due to the presidential elections in Iran and the subsequent change of administration.
Iran has opposed the official participation of the US delegation — headed by Joe Biden’s special envoy on Iran, Robert Malley — in the negotiations, though it essentially wants the immediate removal of crippling US sanctions.
