What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

The United States and Iran held high-level talks in Switzerland, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, aimed at securing a broader peace agreement. Iran committed to allowing "free and open" transit in the Strait of Hormuz and permitting International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors into its country. As part of a peace framework, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a temporary 60-day general license authorizing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian oil.
