Here is a snapshot of what’s happening with Iran, its nuclear talks and energy markets.

Latest developments

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said he was waiting for the U.S. to respond to Tehran’s suggestions for resolving the roadblocks to a revived nuclear deal.

“The ball is in their court,” Amirabdollahian said in a phone call to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday.

Talks in Vienna have been on hold for the past month as negotiators quibble over a Trump-era decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization. Iran wants the designation removed.

The 2015 accord limited Iran’s atomic activities in return for the easing of U.S. sanctions, including on oil exports.

Over the weekend, the UN said a Saudi-led military coalition and Iranian-backed Houthi fighters had agreed to a two-month truce from their fighting in Yemen. That may ease regional tensions and make U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia less wary of the Iran deal being revived.
