An agreement between Iran and the US could be finalized in Vienna soon to revive the 2015 Iran Deal.
President Biden has made restoring the Iran Deal a top foreign-policy goal.
Iran’s “breakout time”—the duration needed to amass enough nuclear fuel for a bomb—could fall to as low as six months, down from about a year in the original deal.
As part of the deal, Iran is pushing for the removal of the Foreign Terrorist Organizations listing for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
