Vance says Iran agreed to let international nuclear inspectors back into the country during a "very, very good" first day of negotiations with the U.S.
The negotiations were expected to start as soon as this weekend, but Vice President Vance's trip there was put off and Switzerland said the negotiations have been postponed.
President Trump warned he could order new strikes if Iran's leaders "don't behave." The U.S. and Iran signed the memo of understanding remotely, a White House official said.
Pakistan's prime minister said Sunday the U.S. and Iran had reached a deal that includes "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
President Trump said earlier Thursday he called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war.
The two helicopter pilots were uninjured. After the retaliatory strikes were announced, President Trump said, "I believe the response should be very strong, very powerful."
The two crew members were rescued by a sea drone in the first such operation ever carried out by the U.S. military, officials told CBS News.
The Iranians' latest move in the war came in response to what it considers U.S. and Israeli ceasefire violations.
President Trump's changes included somewhat significant changes, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.
The vice president says the U.S. and Iran are "very close" to a deal, but are "not there yet." Meanwhile, the U.S. struck Iran, which retaliated against a U.S. base.
As the Trump administration signals hope for a possible deal, Iran says obstacles linger and that "frequent changes" in U.S. positions aren't helping.
There is broad commitment on the principles of a deal, a senior Trump administration official said, and the administration feels positive about where things stand.
Asked what he said to Israel's leader about a decision to hold off on new Iran strikes, Trump said Netanyahu will "do whatever I want him to do."
President Trump says he scrapped a planned attack on Iran at the request of Gulf allies as "serious negotiations" on a peace deal are underway.
Iran's military says it's trained and ready for any new U.S. assault as President Trump predicted a "long talk" about the war with China's President Xi in Beijing.
Iran warns any new U.S. attacks will bring a "bad result," as President Trump acknowledges the ceasefire is faltering and violence flares in Lebanon.
President Trump is expected to encourage China to pressure Iran to make a deal to end the war when he visits Beijing this week and meets with President Xi Jinping.
President Trump didn't provide details on the issues he had with the response or what would come next.
Trump threatens Iran with "higher level" strikes if it won't accept a peace deal, but says it's too soon for direct talks after reporting diplomatic progress.
Hegseth said the ceasefire with Iran "certainly holds" for now after a naval clash between Iranian and U.S. forces and renewed attacks on the UAE.
Iran launched attacks on the UAE and tankers in the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. destroyed Iranian boats "that attempted to interfere" with Project Freedom.
President Trump announced the U.S. would "guide" ships not involved in the war with Iran out of the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S.-led task force says it has started the operation.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi returned to Islamabad on Sunday, where he participated in talks focused on ending the war with the U.S., Iranian state media reported.
President Trump says he sent a U.S. delegation to Pakistan for another round of peace talks with Iran Monday but Tehran says it doesn't plan to participate.
Only about a dozen ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the first two days of the ceasefire, far below normal traffic levels before the war, data shows.
