US SOFTENS ON IRAN URANIUM ENRICHMENT
The US has accepted Iran’s demand to continue uranium enrichment, according to a diplomat cited by Iranian Students’ News Agency.
Talks in Geneva reportedly ruled out a full halt to enrichment. Instead, negotiations focus on technical limits—such as where enrichment happens, at what level, and how many centrifuges Iran can use.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the US is not seeking zero enrichment, saying both sides want a quick deal.
The discussions come as Donald Trump increases military pressure and considers possible strikes if no agreement is reached soon.
Both sides say progress has been made, but no date is set for the next round of talks.
