President Trump on Tuesday insisted that Iran has “fully and completely agreed to” future inspections of its nuclear facilities as negotiators work toward a final peace deal.

“Despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary, coupled with the drumbeat of the Fake News, which is doing everything possible to make the U.S. Victory as small and insignificant as possible, Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!),” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He added that this will “insure ‘Nuclear Honesty,'” but warned that talks will cease if Iranian officials do not agree to it. He later added that negotiations between the two sides in Switzerland “are going well!”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei told the state-run Fars News Agency, however, that there are no plans to allow inspectors into Iran nor is there a meeting scheduled with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi.

“No protocol exists in this regard,” he told state media.

Vice President Vance made similar comments to Trump’s on Monday, suggesting Tehran will allow inspectors into the country. He noted that “we’re going to see what they actually let the inspectors do once they’re in the country.”

“So, my point is not that I trust or distrust anybody,” Vance told reporters. “My point is that I trust actions and what the president has asked us to do is verify what they’re doing, focus less on what they’re saying.”

He added that IAEA inspectors, who have performed inspections for years under the Obama administration-negotiated nuclear deal with Iran before Trump withdrew from the pact in 2018, are expected to restart their work as early as this week.

The Hill has reached out to the IAEA for comment.

The U.S. and Iran have agreed to a 60-day timeline for negotiating the future of the Iranian nuclear program while also lifting sanctions on the Islamic regime. Vance has said that talks have so far tackled four points in the 14-point memorandum of understanding between both sides, including the establishment of mechanisms to demine the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s nuclear program has been one of the primary objectives throughout talks and amid the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. The Trump administration said shortly after the conflict began in late February that the Islamic Republic posed an imminent nuclear threat to the U.S. and Israel.

Iran has long contended its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
