Iran has held four rounds of indirect talks with the US on a replacement for the 2015 deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which have been generally described as positive by the two sides.

Iran now wants guarantees that the US will remove all the sanctions and won’t again unilaterally derail the new deal.
