Inspections of Iran's nuclear programme by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could begin this week, U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said.
He said that Iran had agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back and said that the inspections could begin this week, even today.
Vance added that a lot of "good progress" was made during the talks with Iran in Switzerland.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have endorsed the U.S.-Iran agreement reached through the Islamabad Memorandum framework and publicly welcomed Pakistan's role in facilitating negotiations alongside Qatar.
The endorsement came after Washington and Tehran agreed to a 60-day roadmap toward a final peace agreement in Switzerland.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has hailed "good progress," made during talks between Tehran and Washington in Switzerland, in an interview with Iran's state news agency, IRNA, on Monday.
Iranian and U.S. negotiators have agreed upon a 60-day roadmap aimed at reaching a final deal, mediators Pakistan and Qatar have said in a joint statement.
Describing talks between the two sides as "positive and constructive," the statement said that a mechanism had been created for further technical talks between Tehran and Washington.
Oil and petroleum exports have been waived, the U.S. naval blockade has been lifted, some frozen assets have been released and a major reconstruction and development plan for Iran has been launched, Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has said.
Araghchi, who is attending the Iran-U.S. peace summit in Switzerland, added that "tireless" Pakistani and Qatari mediation had delivered major progress to end the conflict in Lebanon
Iranian and U.S. officials continue to trade messages via Qatari and Pakistani mediators, despite Tehran's delegation walking out of face-to-face negotiations after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that Iranian officials refused to return to the room where talks are taking place in Switzerland, after the comments threatening Iran, made by the U.S. President, became public. Messages were still being traded via Qatari and Pakistani mediators, according to a unnamed source cited by Tasnim.
Just before talks officially began, Fox News reported that Trump said he told Iranian officials "you won't have a country" if they tried to close the Strait of Hormuz again. Trump also reiterated an earlier threat that the U.S. would take over the waterway and possibly charge a toll of its own, Fox News said.
A U.S. diplomat involved in the negotiations said talks between the two countries were continuing.
“The Iranians never left and are still here meeting and negotiating deep into the night," the official told Reuters.
"We’ve talked about the Strait, Lebanon, nuclear issues, and details of implementing the MOU [memorandum of understanding], among other topics."
