The United States and the other world powers engaged in talks to seal a nuclear deal with Iran have reportedly offered high-tech reactors and other state-of-the-art equipments to the country if it agreed to curb programs that could make atomic bombs, according to a confidential document.
The draft document has dozens of bracketed text where disagreements remain, indicating that the two sides have a long way to go within a week until the June 30 deadline, reported ABC News.

They want Tehran to curb its nuclear ambitions in return for the lifting of United Nations sanctions.
