Negotiators from Iran and six world powers kicked off another round of expert-level talks in New York with the hope of reaching a deal regarding Iran's nuclear program, Monday.
The representatives are the same world powers that struck an initial nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic in November. Now they're aiming to reach another deal before the July 20 deadline.
Under the November deal, Tehran stopped enrichment of uranium to 20 percent, which is a possible pathway to nuclear arms, in exchange for the easing of some Western sanctions.
It also agreed to dilute half of its 20 percent enriched uranium into five percent and turn the remaining half into oxide, which is very difficult to be used for bomb-making materials.
Already, Iran has said it will redesign its Arak heavy water reactor to limit the amount of plutonium it can make, a major concession.
Iran's president has reiterated his support to the talks
