Doha talks show progress; mediators float a nuclear compromise

Qatari and Pakistani mediators reported positive progress in Doha technical talks, with Vice President Vance saying discussions were 'going well.' Mediators reportedly proposed capping Iranian enrichment near 1.5 percent and moving its excess enriched uranium to Turkey or Russia, while the U.S. and Iran agreed in Switzerland to a high-level committee and working groups on the nuclear file, sanctions, and dispute resolution.

Why this matters. A concrete enrichment-cap-plus-uranium-export formula is the first specific nuclear compromise either side has floated since the June MOU, giving the stalled 60-day clock something substantive to negotiate over.
