The latest round of negotiations between six world powers and Iran started on March 19. The originally imposed deadline for reaching a preliminary agreement was extended from Sunday until Tuesday and then into Thursday.

The P5+1 countries, comprising Russia, the United States, France, China, the United Kingdom and Germany have been trying to seal a deal ensuring peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program since November 2013.

The deadline for reaching a comprehensive agreement was set for July 1.

The negotiators seek to prevent Iran from alleged developing a nuclear bomb in exchange for lifting sanctions crippling Tehran's economy. Tehran has maintained that its program has peaceful nature and aims to cover country’s rising demand for electric power.
