The United States and Iran have agreed on a roadmap to reach a final deal within 60 days, following high-level talks in Switzerland, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan.
Both sides established a communication line to prevent maritime clashes in the Strait of Hormuz and set up a "de-confliction cell" covering Lebanon to help end military operations there.
Mediators described the talks as making "encouraging progress."
Washington is considering easing sanctions and allowing access to some frozen Iranian assets, while technical negotiations on nuclear issues will continue.
However, Israel's absence from the talks has raised doubts over whether any deal will hold.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that Israel will continue to take action against threats in Lebanon, despite the new mechanism.
The open rift between Washington and Jerusalem has become increasingly visible, as Vice President J.D. Vance publicly warned that Israel should not alienate its most powerful ally.
While the talks mark a significant diplomatic breakthrough, analysts believe that the next 60 days will be crucial, and a lasting deal is far from guaranteed.
