U.S. Eases Sanctions on Iranian Oil, but Progress on Nuclear Issues Is Muddy

The US has eased sanctions on Iranian oil, marking a potential shift in relations between the two countries. Iran has reportedly agreed to allow UN nuclear inspectors into the country, according to Vice President JD Vance. However, Iranian officials have denied making any new commitments, casting uncertainty over the development. The move comes after years of limited inspections following the US withdrawal from an Obama-era nuclear deal in 2018.
