"Iran Nuclear Talks: Progress Made, But Key Issue Remains Elusive In a significant development in the ongoing diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, Tehran has indicated that negotiations with world powers are making headway. However, a major hurdle remains - the issue of nuclear weapons, which Iran has consistently denied pursuing. Despite the progress reported, Iran has made it clear that the development of atomic arms will not be part of the initial framework being discussed. As talks continue, the international community is left wondering whether Iran's commitment to non-proliferation is genuine, and what concessions it is willing to make in exchange for relief from crippling economic sanctions."


Tehran also signals progress on talks but says the key issue of nuclear weapons is not part of an initial framework it is working on.
