VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency says Iran is broadly meeting its commitments under a preliminary nuclear deal that set up the current talks in Austria on a final agreement.

The terms of that November 2013 deal commit Iran to not expand nuclear programs during the ensuing negotiations.

Iran also agreed to render harmless its stock of enriched uranium at levels just a technical step away from the form used in nuclear arms.

The United States and other countries have embarked on limited sanctions relief in step with Iran's meeting of each commitment.

The Associated Press obtained the confidential report that was prepared by the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency.

The report is being circulated to members of that agency's board and to the U.N. Security Council.
