Iran has agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to return to the country, marking a significant de-escalation in the long-running nuclear dispute.
The agreement was confirmed by US Vice President JD Vance, who described the development as meaningful progress in ongoing diplomatic talks between Tehran and Washington.
The readmission of nuclear watchdog inspectors represents a tangible step forward in negotiations that had previously stalled.
For markets, the development reduces the immediate risk of further sanctions or military confrontation, which have historically weighed on energy prices and regional stability.
While the agreement does not resolve all outstanding issues, it opens a pathway for renewed verification of Iran's nuclear program.
This diplomatic breakthrough comes amid broader efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East.
