"Pakistani officials are expecting a major breakthrough in talks between Iran and the United States on Tehran's nuclear programme, as Islamabad steps up diplomatic efforts to end a war that has killed thousands of people."
"The central sticking point remains the duration of any enrichment freeze by Iran and the country's stockpile of 440 kilogrammes of highly enriched uranium, with both sides stuck between five years and twenty years of no enrichment."
"There's also talk about what Iran will do with the 440kg of nuclear-enriched material that it has in the country, whether sending it abroad to a third party or bringing it down to either uranium in its natural form or up to 3 percent."
Pakistani officials anticipate significant progress in negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. A delegation led by Army Chief Asim Munir visited Tehran to convey a message from the US. The discussions focus on the duration of Iran's enrichment freeze and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Both sides are negotiating between five to twenty years for the freeze. There are also considerations regarding the management of Iran's 440 kilograms of enriched material. The shuttle diplomacy aims to bridge gaps and foster agreement.
