The "P5+1" was formed in 2006 when the United States, Russia, and China joined France, the United Kingdom, and Germany to negotiate an agreement concerning Iran's nuclear program, with the goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The P5+1 includes the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. All of these countries, except Germany, are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The P5 countries all have nuclear weapons.[1][2][3]
The "P5+1" is also referred to as the "E3+3." The "E3" includes France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, and the "3" includes the non-European countries, the United States, Russia, and China.[4]
