Trump insists Iran accepted nuclear inspectors as Tehran denies claim

President Donald Trump insisted that Iran has agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into its nuclear facilities, contradicting public denials from Tehran. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Pennsylvania, Trump said Iran “is wrong” to deny the agreement, claiming it is confirmed “100%” and that failure to allow inspections would break off negotiations “right now.” Source: eldiado Source: infobae

Disagreement over inspections

The dispute centers on whether Iran committed to new IAEA inspections during recent talks in Switzerland. White House officials, including Vice President JD Vance who participated in the negotiations, stated that Tehran accepted additional oversight. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei declared on June 22 that “no meeting has taken place with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, nor is there any plan for the agency to conduct inspections at damaged Iranian nuclear facilities.” Source: diariolibree

• Trump’s position: The U.S. president asserted that IAEA visits will occur “at the right time” and is “in no hurry,” but reiterated that the deal hinges on Iran’s compliance. Source: eldiado
• Iran’s stance: Bagaei explicitly denied any such agreement, calling reports of inspections “incorrect.” Source: infobae
