Vienna talks
The Vienna talks refer to negotiations, particularly those surrounding Iran's nuclear program, held in Vienna, Austria. Since 2013, world powers, including the U.S., China, Russia, and European nations, have engaged with Iran to reach agreements aimed at limiting its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The goal is to ensure that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons while allowing for peaceful nuclear energy use. The most notable outcome was the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Ongoing discussions aim to revive or reframe this agreement, amid shifting political dynamics and concerns about nuclear development.
