Iran Nuclear Talks: Here Are the Key P5+1 Players

The P5+1 group, comprised of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, is convening in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Tuesday to discuss Iran’s nuclear program. The two-day meeting follows inconclusive talks that were held last year in Istanbul, Baghdad, and Moscow. Iran watchers are hoping for modest progress after the U.S. signaled its willingness to roll back some sanctions on the country, in exchange for Iran halting the bulk of its controversial nuclear activity.
