Iran agreed to resume allowing inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency into the country, President Donald Trump claimed Monday, though Iran denied making any new commitments—the latest contradicting public statements from the two sides.

Key Facts
Trump said “everybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have Major Weapons Inspections in order to ensure ‘Nuclear Honesty’ long into the future” in a post on Truth Social.
Vice President JD Vance, who represented the U.S. in Switzerland during talks with Iran on Monday, announced the agreement to reporters earlier Monday.
A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry, Esmail Baghaei, denied the claims, however, and said Iran had made “no new commitments.”
Iran stopped allowing IAEA inspectors into the country last year after the U.S. conducted strikes on its nuclear facilities in June 2025.
