When you sign your insurance agency for some brokers, that is the finish line. It's a handshake. They get their commission done. Then you may not hear again from them until it's time for renewal and they need your money and commitment again. It's not exactly a great relationship.

Vice President JD Vance returning from Switzerland yesterday after high-level talks with Iran, launching the next phase of negotiations toward a permanent nuclear agreement and a broader end to the fighting across the Middle East.
Prior to departure, the Vice President updating reporters on what he called, quote, a lot of good progress. Mr. Vance announcing what he described as a major breakthrough.

**JD Vance** (3:29)
We, and this is probably what we're most excited about as Americans, 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 or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that's exactly what we wanted to do. That's exactly what we asked to happen. We made a lot of great progress on other nuclear talks.

**Emily Jashinski** (3:55)
Iran, however, almost immediately pushing back on the administration's account. A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry insisting on state media that Tehran will continue cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency only under its existing procedures and has accepted no new obligations. Iran's parliament restricting cooperation with the agency last summer and suspending routine inspections, though state media claims inspectors have continued receiving case-by-case access to active facilities.
Iranian officials also claiming the country's nuclear program was not negotiated during the Switzerland meetings at all. President Trump dismissing that denial, writing on Truth Social, Everybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have major weapons inspections in order to ensure nuclear honesty long into the future.
Mr. Vance similarly warning reporters against taking Tehran's public statements at face value, pointing to Iranian claims that its delegation was preparing to abandon the negotiations only for the talks to continue for another nine hours. Even as the two sides dispute progress on nuclear talks, the administration moving forward with immediate sanctions relief. The Treasury Department issuing a temporary 60-day license authorizing the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian oil, part of the preliminary agreement signed last week, giving negotiators two months to reach a final deal. President Trump yesterday from the Oval touting the renewed flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
