One day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that ongoing nuclear negotiations would "pave Iran's path" to a bomb, the U.S. and Tehran announced progress toward a final deal.

"We have made some progress but have a lot of challenges yet ahead," a State Department official said, according to Reuters, following three days of talks in Switzerland.

The U.S., Iran, and world powers hope to establish a framework deal by the end of the month, which would be followed by a comprehensive agreement by June 30.
