Secretary of State John Kerry will fly to Geneva on Friday to participate in the negotiations between Iran and six world powers on a deal to cap some of the country's atomic programs in exchange for limited relief from sanctions stifling Iran's economy.  

Kerry's visit comes as Iran's chief nuclear negotiator signaled progress at the negotiating table, saying the six had accepted Tehran's proposals on how to proceed, even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the emerging agreement the "deal of the century" for Iran.
