Iran has denied a claim by Vice-President JD Vance that it will allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, after the first round of talks between Washington and Tehran to reach a final deal to end the war.
Following negotiations in Switzerland, Vance said discussions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could be happening "as soon as today".
But Iran's foreign ministry told state media that Tehran had made "no new commitments" on nuclear inspections.
It came as the US temporarily waived sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil in US dollars for the first time in decades.

I guess we’ll find out when the IAEA contingent lands in Tehran.
This is from the BBC, so I would call it a “maybe”.
It’s really not that much oil and it’s far less than Clinton, Obama and Biden wanted to Iran to sell.
To the victor go the spoils.
Vance probably said that in his “respectful” voice. He’s admitted that he’s not proficient in protocol.
Iranians have dealt with the Brits and the French in negotiations. I don’t think they understand that this isn’t the 19th Century. Or even the 20th.
The IRGC says Iran will never sign the MoU, immediately before the MoU is signed, then releases a press statement denying reports the MoU is signed.
Immediately after the MoU is signed the Gayatollah releases a ‘dearh to America - we’ll never negotiate with the Great Satan’ statement as Iranian diplomats are traveling to Switzerland.
We argue here over how Trump and Vance are supposedly being played because of reports that ‘Iran has walked away from talks’ only to find out later that day that the entire time we were debating that Vance was sitting down at talks with the Iranian delegation.
Now Vance comes out of the talks and says Iran agrees to IAEA inspections and Iran says it’s a lie.
Gee, Yogi, who do you think is telling the truth? Sure is a head-scratcher...
