US-Iran Negotiations Make Significant Progress, Iran Agrees to IAEA Inspectors' Return, Yellen Calls It a Key Step in Denuclearization
WASHINGTON, June 22 – U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced Monday that "significant progress" has been made in the Iran-related nuclear negotiations spanning Switzerland, Bushehr, and Stockholm, with Iran agreeing to readmit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to its nuclear sites. Vance framed the concession as a "major milestone for the American people" and the "first step toward Iran’s permanent denuclearization."
The negotiation process faced notable hurdles, Vance acknowledged, with "threats and complaints" surfacing during talks, but he emphasized that diplomatic efforts remained on track and delivered tangible results. Over the weekend, tensions briefly stalled discussions when Iran threatened to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, citing allegations that Israel violated the regional ceasefire with strikes targeting Lebanon. Mediation from Pakistan and Qatar helped resolve those frictions and allowed talks to resume, per Vance’s remarks.

Still, there’s no clear sign of a demand recovery taking hold in the market.
Current data puts Bitcoin’s price hovering around $64,700, down roughly 13% over the past month and nearly 50% from its all-time high hit last October.
