The representatives of Iran, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and Germany reportedly also were set to discuss the current state of the deal and how to move forward. President Donald Trump removed the United States from the deal in 2018, but President-elect Joe Biden has said he would rejoin it.
The meeting comes as Iran continues to breach the levels of enriched uranium set out in the deal. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said he would return to the deal if the United States lifts the sanctions that were reinstated by the US when it left the deal.
