What Iran and US can’t agree on
The United States just waived sanctions on Iranian oil for 60 days.
This move followed a very important first day of talks in Switzerland.
It frees up 67 million barrels of oil currently stuck on ships.
Now, Iran can sell its oil at full price to help its economy.
But a big fight has already started about what was actually promised.
Iranian leaders say the U.S. will release 12 billion dollars in frozen money.
They claim they can spend this money however they want to.
President Trump disagrees, saying the money is only for food and medicine.
He wants Iran to buy these supplies exclusively from American farmers.
There is also a major clash over the issue of nuclear inspectors.
The U.S. claims Iran agreed to let experts back in forever.
But Iranian officials denied this, saying there is no schedule for inspections.
This is dangerous because Iran has 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.
Without inspectors, the world cannot know if Iran is making a bomb.
For now, both sides will continue talking in small technical groups.
They hope to reach a final deal before the 60 days end.

Dialogue 🎧
Michael: Did you see that the US just waived sanctions on Iranian oil?
Sophia: I did. It is a 60-day window to see if things work.
Michael: Still, that is 67 million barrels of oil finally moving again.
Sophia: I hope that finally brings down gas prices. My car is expensive!
Michael: It all started with that first day of talks in Switzerland.
Sophia: Right. I did not think they would ever sign that agreement.
Michael: Well, they did. They even agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Sophia: That is massive. Twenty percent of the world's oil flows through there.
Michael: But now it feels like they are already arguing again.
Sophia: They are. It is all about the 12 billion dollars in assets.
Michael: Iran says they can spend it on anything. Total liberty, basically.
Sophia: But Trump says it is strictly for food from American farmers.
Michael: He's really pushing to help American farmers with this deal.
Sophia: He is. He called the whole situation a humanitarian necessity.
Michael: The nuclear stuff sounds even more confusing. What is the deal there?
Sophia: Vance says inspectors are going back in "long into the future."
Michael: That sounds like a major milestone for peace if it happens.
Sophia: Except Iran says they have no schedule for any inspections yet.
Michael: Wait. So we don't know what's happening with their uranium? That's scary.
Sophia: Exactly. They still have 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.
Michael: That's a lot of pressure for these technical groups. Sixty days is fast.
Sophia: It's a huge gamble. I just hope they find a real solution.
