The United States is one of the nuclear powers in the P5+1 group that also includes China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and Germany.

The negotiators are working until the end-of-June deadline to sign a comprehensive plan of action ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.

Last month, Tehran agreed to cut back its uranium enrichment as part of a framework deal that would usher in the removal of energy-related sanctions from Iran.
