    The United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany — the so-called P5 +1 group — reached an understanding with Iran last week on limits to its nuclear program in return for lifting crippling economic sanctions.
    The U.S. has previously said the sanctions would be lifted in phases, but the details have not yet been negotiated.
