Iran’s unyielding pursuit of nuclear weapon capabilities

With less than five months to go before the American Presidential elections, U.S. relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran seem to be moving on two parallel routes leading to heating up and cooling down. There has been a prisoner swap, with express calls on the American side to enlarge this opening for a comprehensive deal focusing on the nuclear dimension but not limited to it, but at the same time there are credible reports that the Iranian regime is moving its Uranium stockpile dangerously close to weapon-grade amount. Do these currents contradict or complement each other?
