US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran has agreed to allow long-term nuclear inspections under a developing agreement. His statement directly contradicted Iranian officials, who said no clear timetable exists for inspectors to visit nuclear sites. The dispute highlights ongoing uncertainty in US-Iran negotiations.
Trump wrote on social media that Iran had agreed to “highest level nuclear inspections long into the future.” He said the arrangement would ensure what he called “nuclear honesty.” He also warned that negotiations would not continue without such guarantees.
Iranian officials rejected the claim, saying there is currently no agreement on inspection schedules. Tehran said discussions with the International Atomic Energy Agency remain unresolved. Officials also emphasized that no immediate access to nuclear sites has been approved.
The disagreement comes amid broader diplomatic efforts following recent US-Iran talks in Switzerland. The discussions have focused on nuclear issues, sanctions relief, and regional security arrangements. However, key differences remain over verification and enforcement mechanisms.
Meanwhile, Trump also commented on related economic measures and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. He said the United States is monitoring shipping routes and managing sanctions-related financial flows. Despite ongoing talks, both sides continue to present conflicting interpretations of the agreement.
