Bürgenstock, Switzerland: Iran has denied claims that it agreed to allow international nuclear inspectors back into the country following the first round of peace negotiations with the United States in Switzerland.
The dispute emerged after JD Vance said discussions regarding the return of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency could begin immediately. He described the talks as constructive and said they had established a strong foundation for a broader agreement between Washington and Tehran.
However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected those assertions. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai stated that Tehran had made “no new commitments” regarding nuclear inspections and insisted that any future cooperation with the IAEA would continue under existing laws and procedures approved by Iranian authorities.
Despite the disagreement, mediators from Qatar and Pakistan announced that both sides had agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days. The discussions also covered regional security issues, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining ceasefire arrangements.
Meanwhile, the United States introduced a temporary 60-day sanctions waiver that allows Iran to sell oil in US dollars for the first time in decades. Washington has linked the move to broader efforts to advance negotiations and promote regional stability.
