N-deal under threat, Iran to meet partners

Vienna, June 28

Senior officials from Iran and the remaining signatories to its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers are gathering on Friday as tensions in the Persian Gulf simmer and Tehran is poised to surpass a uranium stockpile threshold, posing a threat to the accord.

At the heart of the meeting in Vienna is Iran’s desire for European countries to deliver on promises of financial relief from the  US sanctions. Iran is insisting that it wants to save the agreement and has urged the Europeans to start buying Iranian oil or give Iran a credit line to keep the accord alive. The countries participating are Iran, France, Germany, Britain, Russia, China and the EU.  — AP
