According to most international observers the talks on the revival of the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program (JCPOA) are in the final phase. Much has been agreed upon. Some hurdles still remain. Three working groups have been set up to negotiate which sanctions on Iran will be lifted and how Iran will return to its commitments of the original JCPOA of 2015. The panel will discuss the course of the negotiations in Vienna and the interests of the different parties. If there will be an agreement by the date of the panel, the panelists will discuss the results. If there will be no results yet, the panel will discuss why not.
