U.S. and Iran in indirect talks over nuclear program and prisoners

With no hope of reviving 2015 nuclear agreement, the goal is reducing rising tensions and bringing home American detainees.

The Washington Post
Begun several months ago, the talks are not a revival of negotiations over restoring the 2015 #nuclear deal between #Iran & world powers, according to #US, European & Middle Eastern ofcls who spoke on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive issue. Until President Donald #Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018, it eased US #sanctions on Iran in exchange for verifiable #NuclearRestrictions.
