Iran to allow UN nuclear inspectors back in, Vance says
Tehran agreed to let International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors return as mediators said the talks produced a 60-day roadmap for a final deal.
- Iran has agreed to reinstate International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, marking a major diplomatic breakthrough following high-level bilateral talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.
- Vice President JD Vance announced the decision Monday, labeling the return of the UN nuclear watchdog as a critical milestone and "the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran."
- The inspectors' return ends a year-long monitoring blackout, which began when Tehran expelled the IAEA team in June 2025 following joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
- Negotiators secured key progress on regional stability alongside the nuclear file, establishing dual coordination mechanisms to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open to maritime shipping and to actively de-escalate ongoing border friction in Lebanon.
