Negotiating teams from Iran and the United States met again in Rome on Friday in hopes of ironing out a new deal and removing U.S. sanctions. The two sides are said to be at odds over uranium enrichment.
Washington wants Tehran not just to scale back its nuclear program but stop enriching uranium all together; a position Iran says is a non-starter.
