Signatories to the Iran nuclear deal are holding a meeting in the Austrian capital, Vienna, to discuss the future of the agreement after the US withdrawal. Members to the Joint Commission of the nuclear deal, namely China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Iran, are attending the meeting. The talks come over two weeks after US President, Donald Trump, officially pulled out of the deal. Germany, Britain, France, and the European Union have said they would remain in the agreement. Meanwhile, Iran has called on Europe to present an economic package by the end of May. The package is intended to compensate for Washington’s withdrawal from the agreement. Iran’s senior nuclear negotiator, Abbas Araqchi, urged the European signatories to keep the deal beneficial for Iran.
