Negotiations surrounding America’s potential return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal broke up without an agreement Friday after new Russian demands scrambled the talks.Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, tweeted that the halt in negotiations held in Vienna, Austria was due to “external factors” and added that the text of a possible agreement was “essentially ready and on the table.”Then-President Donald Trump removed the US from the seven-nation agreement in 2018, opting to impose tough sanctions on Iran.
