The US issued a 60-day license allowing Iran to sell oil on the international market, giving Tehran an economic lifeline as the two adversaries continued talks for a permanent peace deal.

Vice President JD Vance, attending the discussions in Switzerland, described the first round of negotiations as “very very good” and said Iran had agreed to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country — a claim later backed up by President Donald Trump. But Iranian officials, who also cited progress, challenged that claim, saying Vance’s assertion was “false and does not reflect reality.”

The discrepancy underscored the challenges that remain ahead as the two sides look to fulfill a memorandum of understanding signed last week to halt their conflict and pave the way for a long-term deal. That agreement left key issues unresolved while also aiming to give Iran immediate financial benefit, a dynamic that drew fierce criticism from Trump’s Republican allies.
