The new developments came as Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton held a new meeting on the eve of the fourth day of the talks.
Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China -- plus Germany kicked off their latest round of talks on Wednesday.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also arrived in the Swiss city on Friday afternoon and held a meeting with Zarif and later with Ashton.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will also head to Geneva to join the negotiations as the talks extend to a fourth day.
Hopes are now rising that a final deal that many say could end the standoff over the Iranian nuclear energy program is just around the corner.
The Iranian delegation has been engaged with one-on-one meetings with other delegations to hammer out an interim deal to pave the ground for the resolution of the Wests decade-old standoff with Iran over its nuclear energy program.
To a good degree, we have moved (closer) towards agreement, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi said late on Friday, adding however that "some main issues still remain."
Meanwhile, IRNA news agency quoted an unnamed Western diplomat as saying that the six world powers have accepted the Islamic Republics right to enrich uranium.
Earlier in the day, Iran reiterated its right to uranium enrichment, with Zarif saying, Our right to enrichment is our red line.
