US Vice President JD Vance said his talks with Iranian officials were successful. They want to end the war between the US, Israel, and Iran.

Vance and US officials said they made progress on several issues. They want to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and stop fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

Vance left Switzerland while technical teams were still negotiating. He said the US will focus on Iran's actions, not words.

Vance said, 'I trust actions, not words. We need to verify what Iran is doing.'

The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. This caused fuel prices to rise. An interim agreement was made to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Hezbollah and Israel went to war after the US and Israel attacked. Iran wants to address the fighting in Lebanon as part of a deal.

Iran said there was 'major progress' in ending the fighting in Lebanon. This is a key test of the negotiations.

The US Treasury allowed Iranian oil to be imported into the US for 60 days. This is part of the interim agreement.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. He will discuss the latest developments in Iran.

The mediation effort in Switzerland started on Sunday and continued into Monday.

Vance said, 'We've laid a successful foundation for a good deal for the American people.'

Trump did not attend the talks, but his comments affected the negotiations. The talks were paused after Trump made an insulting comment.

The negotiations continued after the pause. The US and Iran are working towards a deal.

Vance suggested that the US could agree to unfreeze Iranian assets. Iran could use these assets to buy US products.

Qatar would oversee the process. Iranian money would be used to buy American products for the Iranian people.

Iran has not commented on the idea. The assets have been frozen due to sanctions and banking restrictions.

Mediators Pakistan and Qatar said there was 'encouraging progress' in the talks.

The interim deal sets a 60-day period for negotiations on key issues. This includes the future of Iran's nuclear program.

Vance said the technical talks were critical. US envoys Kushner and Witkoff are handling the technical details.

More ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. The strait was previously closed due to the war.

Ships are avoiding the central route due to mines. They are using the smaller northern and southern routes instead.

US oil prices dropped due to the progress in the talks. The price of oil fell to $74.66 a barrel.

Trump was annoyed by Iran's comments on the Strait of Hormuz. He threatened to take action against Iran.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would not back down on its right to enrich uranium.

Trump told Iran's president to watch what he says. He threatened to take over Iran if necessary.

Trump posted on social media, saying Iran must stop its proxies in Lebanon. He threatened to hit Iran hard if they don't comply.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there was 'major progress' in ending the Lebanon War.

Neither Israel nor Hezbollah is part of the US-Iran deal. But they are affected by the negotiations.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah appeared to be holding as of Monday evening.

The UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon said there were no attacks from either side on Monday.

There were still airspace violations and Israeli military movements. But the fighting has stopped for now.

Hezbollah has not announced any attacks on Israeli forces since Saturday. The lull in fighting is the longest since the war began.
