Many 'Ideas' for Iran Nuclear Talks on March 31 Deadline – Russian Diplomat

31 March 2015, 08:36 GMT

The P5+1 group of international mediators, comprising Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, the United States and Germany, are attempting to convince Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program for more than ten years and decrease the number of centrifuges.

Initially, Tehran insisted on having at least 10,000 centrifuges, but in February agreed to consider a US proposal of cutting the number to 6,500.

Iran and the P5+1 group have held several rounds of talks on Tehran's nuclear program since November 2013 with limited results. The negotiators are now working towards the July 1 deadline to forge a final agreement.
