01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Monday that overnight talks between Washington and Tehran yielded progress on the nuclear issue, and that Iran has summoned international inspectors to visit its sites. The statement, reported by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), directly contradicts earlier official Iranian statements that denied any such developments from the night's discussions. Vance characterized the inspector summons as a concrete step. The remarks come amid ongoing nuclear negotiations and follow a series of Vance statements in recent days on the Iran file — including his acknowledgment of unpublicized 'gentlemen's agreements' beyond the signed MOU, and his insistence that no upfront money flows to Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the overnight talks had initially been described by Iranian sources as yielding no progress; Vance's comments mark the first on-record American rebuttal.
