What Happened: A spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry said Iran's lead nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani and his team would return to Vienna, Austria, to resume nuclear talks on Aug. 4, Axios reported Aug. 3. The statement comes after EU coordinator for the talks Enrique Mora said he was also flying to Vienna for talks on the July draft text that EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell submitted.
Why It Matters: The talks are the latest attempt to salvage the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, but Iran has still shown no willingness to budge on its key demands, making the prospects for a breakthrough in the next round of talks unlikely.
Background: A U.S. official told Axios that "We are headed back to Vienna with low expectations but are going to make a good faith effort." After the most recent round of talks in Doha, Qatar, U.S. officials said negotiators were even less likely to reach a deal.
