Trump touts Iran inspection deal as Tehran disputes terms

President Donald Trump asserted on Tuesday that Iran has agreed to "highest level" nuclear inspections, a claim that Iranian officials promptly disputed. This disagreement highlights the ongoing complexities and contested terms surrounding a tentative nuclear agreement.

“

Despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary … Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!).

Trump took to social media to declare, "Despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary … Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!)." He added that this would ensure "Nuclear Honesty" and that "If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!"

This will insure ‘Nuclear Honesty.’ If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!

However, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Ali Bahreini, told reporters that Tehran has not yet agreed to the deployment of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He clarified that a working group, which has yet to be convened, will discuss the specifics of inspector travel to Iran.

Trump also stated he had agreed to keep the strategic Strait of Hormuz open based on this agreement, though he noted the possibility of reinstating a US naval blockade, which he deemed "highly unlikely" at this point.
