The US and five other world powers are planning talks on new strategies to contain Iran's nuclear programs.

They are waiting for a reply from Tehran on a meeting to follow up the last, abortive session nearly a year ago.

The White House says the goal of getting Iran to suspend its enrichment program remains unchanged. But Iran says it will not give up its nuclear program

Speculation is circulating as the Obama administration prepares for talks with stakeholders on Iran's nuclear programs.

Will the United States drop its conditions for talks for Iran?

Washington gave a straight answer to that question on Tuesday.

Robert Gibbs, White House Secretary, said, "The goal is and remains a suspension of Iran's illicit nuclear weapons' programme."

But three diplomats from countries involved in the talks say Washington is planning to review strategies on engaging Iran.
