Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's chief negotiator, reportedly returned to Vienna following consultations with Teheran over the weekend.

Diplomats from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China will reportedly take part in the talks.

The United States reportedly can only participate in the talks indirectly after the U.S. withdrew from the accord in 2018.

'Houston Chronicle' reports that President Joe Biden has suggested that he wants the U.S. to rejoin the deal.

The plan, formerly referred to as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, eased sanctions on Iran in exchange for limiting Teheran's nuclear program.

Britain, France and Germany have warned that little time remains before the accord becomes an "empty shell" as a result of Iran's growing nuclear program.
