VP JD Vance Delivers MAJOR Update on U.S.-Iran Deal After Talks in Switzerland

Vice President JD Vance is on his way back from Switzerland after engaging in roughly 36 hours of negotiations with Iranian officials.

After talks ended, VP Vance announced that significant progress was made with the Iranians — especially in regards to their nuclear program.

In a huge milestone, VP Vance got the Iranians to agree to allowing nuclear inspectors back into their country for the first time in quite awhile.

This marks a clear first step towards ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program, for good.

Watch Vance’s update here:

BREAKING: VP Vance announces major progress made by the United States and its negotiating team while finalizing a deal with Iran:

“Yesterday was a very, very good day. We made a lot of good progress. We did exactly what we wanted to do… the Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country. That is a major milestone for the American people. And the first step in permanently denuclearizing- permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran.”

Here’s a helpful breakdown of the progress that has been made during negotiations with Iran, so far:

IAEA inspectors agreement: Iran agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into the country, described as a major milestone toward ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program and ensuring long-term nuclear transparency.

60-day roadmap established: Talks produced a framework and roadmap for the next phase toward a broader peace deal, including a communication channel (“deconfliction mechanism”) to prevent escalation regarding the Strait of Hormuz and Lebanon/Hezbollah tensions.

Strait of Hormuz commitments: Iran committed to free and open transit; a deconfliction process was established. The U.S. issued a temporary 60-day general license easing restrictions on Iranian oil production, delivery, and sales.

Regional ceasefire efforts: Progress toward a broader regional ceasefire protecting Israel’s security, with mechanisms to de-escalate incidents involving Hezbollah, Israel, Lebanon, and others.

Asset/funding controls: Framework for potential unfreezing of Iranian assets under strict U.S. oversight (e.g., tied to American agricultural purchases), contingent on continued progress.

Both sides described the talks as productive with significant progress after ~36 hours, though a final deal remains pending and will depend on implementation.

While delivering remarks in Switzerland, VP Vance also shot down fake news reports that the Iranians walked out during negotiations.

He clarified that the Iranian officials threatened to walk out, but ultimately, talks continues.

Watch what he had to say about that here:

“There was whining, but the talks continued and we made GREAT progress.”

“They didn’t throw a wrench…they did threaten to walk out…we were negotiating WELL past 1AM. So, they DIDN’T walk out. Their technical team is still here working with ours!”

Negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials are expected to continue for the next several days, although JD Vance will not personally be present.

Fox News reported further on the next steps:

The talks are expected to continue this week as both sides work through nuclear, sanctions and security issues, although Iranian state media reported negotiations were briefly disrupted Sunday following remarks by President Donald Trump before discussions resumed.

Mediators Qatar and Pakistan hailed what they called “encouraging progress” made during the talks as Iran and the United States agreed to create a “de-confliction cell” to address the fighting in Lebanon.

Switzerland on Monday welcomed what it described as “constructive progress” during the overnight negotiations at the Bürgenstock resort, praising the creation of a high-level committee and a roadmap aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry said the framework would help structure the next phase of political and technical talks and reiterated its support for efforts aimed at de-escalation, stability and peace.
