Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) held their latest round of talks in Vienna in mid-October to work out a final agreement aimed at ending the long-standing dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.
Last November, the two sides clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on Jan. 20 and expired six months later.
However, the parties agreed to extend their talks until Nov. 24 as they remained divided on a number of key issues.
