"Iran"

Irans chief negotiator in the Vienna talks announced on Thursday that two draft texts containing Irans proposals on sanctions removal and nuclear restrictions have been presented to the parties to the 2015 nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The designation came after a drone attack targeted a U.S. base in the al-Tanf area in southern Syria last week.

Iran appears to have been responsible for a drone attack last week on a U.S. outpost in Syria, suggesting that a new front could be opening in the low-level conflict that has simmered since the United States pulled out of the Iran nuclear accord in 2018.
