US and Iran hold first round of talks under memorandum of understanding.

US Vice President JD Vance announced that Iran agreed to allow IAEA nuclear inspectors back into the country following talks in Switzerland. The US Treasury issued a 60-day waiver authorizing Iranian oil sales, and mediators said both sides agreed on a roadmap toward a final deal within 60 days. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon continues despite the negotiations.

The split, in one line

Outlets broadly agree on core outcomes: inspectors returning, oil waivers, and a 60-day roadmap. The right emphasizes American farmers benefiting from unfrozen assets, while international outlets highlight oil prices falling and regional implications. Most skip Trump's threatening posts entirely.
