Iran said that it is ready to consider a temporary freeze in uranium enrichment on the assurance that it would not be attacked by the United States during negotiations with the 6 world powers on enrichment and other nuclear issues.
The progress was welcomed by top US envoys but the UN Security Council is expected to go ahead with sanctions if Tehran does not halt enrichment.
IAEA Chief, El Baradei, said that "the window of oppurtinity is not very long" - an implicit warning that the standoff was on the brink of escalating.
