The two sides are expected to reach a preliminary agreement regarding Iran's uranium enrichment issue. Sources indicate that Washington has allowed Iran to enrich uranium domestically at a concentration of 3.67%, which Tehran has agreed to; meanwhile, the U.S. is requesting a reduction in the concentration of Iran's existing 60% enriched uranium, with both sides considering third-party assistance to address Iran's high-enriched uranium issue. Additionally, discussions are being arranged regarding the return of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to Iran, although the specific scope of their tasks has not yet been clarified.
