Trump insists Iran has “fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections”

President Trump insisted in a social media post on Tuesday morning that Iran had “fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future,” doubling down on Vice President JD Vance’s assertion the previous day that Tehran had agreed during the first round of direct talks on Sunday to let U.N. inspectors return to its nuclear facilities.

Vance said Iran had agreed to let International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors visit the country’s nuclear facilities as soon as this week. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei told reporters in Tehran on Tuesday, however, that there were no plans yet for any new inspections of the most sensitive sites, which were damaged by U.S. and Israel strikes a year ago and include the facility where Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium is believed to be buried deep underground.

Mr. Trump, in his Tuesday morning Truth Social post, dismissed Iranian “protestations and false statements to the contrary,” insisting that there was an agreement for renewed inspections and adding: “If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!”

Mr. Trump said he had lifted the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and vessels “based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran.”
