Not clear how much gets decided. Today the Trump administration administration came in with maximalist demands of getting rid of all of Iran's nuclear enrichment program plus the vast stockpiles of potentially dangerous nuclear material. As for the Iranians, they appear to have a more minimalist approach with the blessing of their supreme leader. Seems they want to hold on to some enrichment. They never claimed they're building a bomb.
