US President Donald Trump has said Iran has agreed to the highest level of nuclear inspections, but Tehran has made no such commitment — with Washington and Iranian state media issuing directly contradictory accounts of what was agreed at talks in Switzerland on Monday.
Vice President JD Vance said after the negotiations that Iran would allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country, calling it a major milestone — but Iranian officials have not confirmed any agreement on inspections.
President Trump echoed Vice President Vance's account on Truth Social, warning there would be no further negotiations without what he called nuclear honesty.
