Trump says Iran agreed to nuclear inspections, Tehran denies deal
Trump says Tehran agreed to nuclear inspections, while Iranian officials deny any new commitment and the talks enter a 60-day negotiating window.
- On Tuesday, Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei denied claims by U.S. Vice President JD Vance that Tehran agreed to permit International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to return to nuclear sites bombed last year.
- Tensions stem from July 2025, when Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA after non-compliance findings, while current negotiations in Switzerland aim to establish a 60-day roadmap addressing sanctions relief and nuclear monitoring.
- While Vance called the agreement 'a major milestone,' Baqaei stated, "We have not had a meeting with the director general of the IAEA, nor do we have any plans for the agency to inspect Iran's nuclear facilities."
- Mediators Pakistan and Qatar defined progress as "positive" and "constructive," as parties formed a "High Level Committee" and four working groups to address sanctions, nuclear issues, and reconstruction.
- Negotiators have 60 days to reach a final deal; success depends on resolving site access disputes, given that IAEA officials believe roughly 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium remains buried at Isfahan.
