Since then-President Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, Iran has breached many of the deal's curbs that had extended the time it would need to produce enough fissile material for an atom bomb.
VIENNA - Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are in the home straight, delegates say, though some important issues remain unresolved and it is still unclear whether an agreement will be clinched.
Iran says it only wants to enrich uranium for civil uses, but many suspect it is keeping its options open or at least seeking to gain leverage in negotiations by getting closer to being able to produce a nuclear weapon. The deal lets Iran enrich for research, without accumulating enriched uranium, with small numbers of advanced centrifuges, which are generally at least twice as efficient as the IR-1.
