The final round of talks on the Iranian nuclear program between Tehran and the P5+1 group of international negotiators comprising Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China and Germany began in Vienna on Tuesday. November 24 is the deadline for a deal to be made with Iran guaranteeing a peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
With the deadline approaching, the P5+1 group foreign ministers plenary meeting with Tehran is expected to take place later on Monday.
Iran's nuclear program has long been a matter of concern for the international community. The West suspects Iran of developing a nuclear weapon under the guise of a peaceful program, while Tehran argues that its nuclear development is aimed purely at meeting civilian needs.
