Vance Claims Progress in First Day of Iran Talks

Vice President JD Vance, the lead US negotiator, said on Tuesday that the two sides had agreed on technical issues and at least one substantive issue — international inspection of Iranian nuclear sites. However, an Iranian official involved in the talks stated that Iran had made 'no new commitments'. The negotiations come as the international community closely watches diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program. Vance emphasized that progress was made, but the Iranian side's refusal to confirm the agreement indicates that differences remain.
