That conference focused on the nuclear program, which the U.S. and other believe is intended to develop nuclear weapons, and on military threats from Iran in the Persian Gulf region. Iran and the six nations - the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China - met in Istanbul 14 months ago. But the talks ended after two days with the sides agree on what to talk about. Iran contends the program is solely for peaceful energy and research purposes.
