US and Iran Show Flexibility Towards Nuclear Deal, Says Turkish FM

According to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, the United States and Iran are showing flexibility towards reaching an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program. The US appears willing to tolerate some level of uranium enrichment by Iran, while Iran recognizes the need for a deal and is willing to accept restrictions on enrichment and strict inspections. Talks are being held with the mediation of Oman, while Fidan warns that expanding the negotiations to include ballistic missiles could lead to escalation.
