Iran, US to hold indirect talks on nuclear deal next week

The US and Iran will take part in indirect talks next week on how to return to the 2015 nuclear deal, a US official said, in what could be a breakthrough for stalled efforts to revive diplomacy.

US officials will not hold direct talks with Iran but be present in Vienna during meetings scheduled for April 6 between the Islamic Republic and the remaining world powers in the deal, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Those talks aim “to clearly identify sanctions lifting and nuclear implementation measures,” the European Union said after chairing a video conference on Friday
