Will the Vienna talks salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal?

A fifth round of dialogue to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal is under way in Vienna.

But that is only after the world nuclear watchdog and Tehran agreed to a monthlong extension of an agreement allowing inspection of atomic sites.

The concession also coincides with the selection of candidates to become Iran’s new president in June.

Will the positive sign boost the talks and put the nuclear agreement back on track?

And will it bring an end to some sanctions that have crippled Iran’s economy?
