The European state was one of the countries that played host to the nuclear talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France, and Germany).
Tehran and the Group 5+1 on July 14, 2015 reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on Tehran's nuclear program and started implementing it on January 16.
The nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, terminated all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.
