LAUSANNE, Switzerland — A senior Iranian official suggested Tuesday that Iran is nearing a preliminary deal with the U.S and five world powers that would lead to a breakthrough eluding them for more than a decade — a formal pact limiting Tehran’s ability to make an atomic weapon while easing punitive economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
The United States was less upbeat, with officials saying the sides had made progress but still had far to go in eliminating differences over what Iran must do for a gradual end to sanctions.
