Iran Press/ Europe: Four of the sources said the virtual meeting, which was likely to cover other topics, could take place as soon as Friday, while two others said it could happen next week. All spoke on condition that they not be identified.
Such a high-level conversation would be the latest step by US President Joe Biden’s administration to seek a way to revive the pact, under which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities so as to make it harder to develop an atomic bomb in return for relief from the US and other economic sanctions.
Trump abandoned the deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, restoring the US sanctions the agreement had removed and placed more on Iran.
