Reports from Iran's semi-official news agency indicate that the United States has accepted key conditions for Iran to continue enriching uranium.
The recent negotiations in Geneva did not aim for Iran to cease its entire program, but rather focused on discussing technical details.
The key issues concern the level of uranium concentration, the number and location of centrifuges.
This stance reflects a more conciliatory approach than a direct confrontation.
However, there was no discussion about relocating nuclear material out of the country.
Or the creation of a regional agreement at this stage.
This progress may alleviate short-term diplomatic pressure.
But the long-term direction still depends on the details and trust between the two sides.
