Progress Reported at Iran Nuclear Talks in Vienna 

U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil and banks will be lifted, Iran’s top negotiator told Iranian state media Saturday, based on agreements made at talks in Vienna.

Some of Iran’s partners in the talks — France, Britain, Germany and Russia — said the talks focused on bringing the United States back into the nuclear deal with Iran were making progress. Iran and those four countries plus China began the talks in Vienna last month to try to revive a 2015 nuclear agreement the U.S. abandoned three years ago. "Sanctions … on Iran's energy sector, which include oil and gas, or those on the automotive industry, financial, banking and port sanctions, all should be lifted based on agreements reached so far," Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was quoted as saying by Iranian state media after the latest round of the talks, which were later adjourned for six days.
