Iran-US nuclear talks stall over inspections — Washington agrees to dollar oil sales

The United States confirmed it agreed to allow Iran to sell oil in US dollars for 60 days as part of a temporary sanctions relief measure during ongoing nuclear negotiations. The main sticking point in talks remains the scope and mechanism of nuclear inspections, with the two sides unable to reach agreement. President Trump claimed the sanction relief decision was made on humanitarian grounds.
