Background: In Tehran, there is a lot of low enriched uranium which the world wants for a research reactor that would be used for medical purposes.

Summary: Tomorrow, officials for Obama's administration, France, Russia, and Iran will be meeting to discuss a deal to get this Uranium. The United States are hoping that Iran will not cooperate, so that there would be a case for sanctions.
