Diplomats from Iran and five world powers recommitted to salvaging a major nuclear deal by opposing US sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Iran Press/Europe: Chairperson of the emergency session on Iran's nuclear deal in Vienna, Helga Schmid suggested in a statement that a stalemate still prevailed, saying only that "participants reaffirmed their continued commitment to preserving the JCPOA", NDTV reported.

The statement added that Iranian nuclear projects in Arak and Fordow had the participants' 'strong support', and said another meeting 'would be convened in the near future.'

Also, the head of the Chinese delegation, Fu Cong, said the talks had taken place in a "very good" and "professional" atmosphere.

Fu added Iran urged the European Union, France, Britain, and Germany to implement their part of the deal.

On 28 July, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, said after the talks in Vienna that emergency meeting with parties to the 2015 nuclear deal was constructive.

Envoys from Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, and Iran took part in Sunday's session, discussing ways of salvaging the nuclear agreement, given the fact that the United States withdrew from it in May 2018 and re-imposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic. 201/211/207
