Negotiators trying to save the Iran nuclear deal will meet on Sunday (Monday in Manila), after an ultraconservative cleric won presidential elections in the Islamic republic.
The latest meeting is part of their regular discussions since early April, aimed at bringing the United States back to the 2015 landmark agreement and Iran back into compliance with curbs on its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
