IIPA via Getty Images(BAGHDAD) -- Six world powers, including the U.S., will meet with Iranians officials in Baghdad on Wednesday in another attempt to minimize the danger of Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
The so-called "5+1 powers" -- the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany -- held talks with Iran last month in Istanbul, Turkey.  While there was no real progress made, all sides came away from the conference with a more positive attitude than in previous meetings.
Washington won't back off from its demand of tighter controls on Iran's nuclear program to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear arsenal. The Iranian government maintains that its program is purely for peaceful purposes, a claim doubted by virtually all of America's allies.
Iran has been having ongoing talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, and considers it a more reliable entity than the U.S. because the IAEA didn't join the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which were never found.
According to Iranian state-run media, Tehran would agree to concessions in its nuclear program but only through the U.N. auspices.  Among other things, the 5+1 wants Iran to lower its uranium enrichment levels, making it impossible to create atomic bombs.
