Vice President JD Vance says U.S. and Iranian talks in Switzerland are making progress. Speaking about the negotiations, which officials hold in Europe after direct meetings, Vance describes Sunday’s discussions as a “very, very good day” and says the parties “made a lot of good progress.” According to multiple outlets, Vance reports that Iran has agreed to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to reenter the country so inspectors can verify compliance with an agreement being negotiated. CBS and CNBC also report Vance’s assertion that the Strait of Hormuz remains open.
Some reports frame the update as optimistic while also noting Vance’s characterizations of Iran’s statements as “threatening” and “whining.” The Hill adds that it was unclear how long he would stay in Europe as talks continue. The outlets do not provide additional details on the specific terms of the broader agreement beyond the inspector access described by Vance.
