On June 22, President Trump posted on social media saying that everyone is fully aware that Iran will agree to accept large-scale nuclear inspections to ensure its long-term “nuclear honesty” in the future.
Earlier that day, the first round of talks between the U.S. and Iranian delegations ended in Bürgenstock, Switzerland. Vice President Vance stated at a press conference that the negotiations made significant progress, laying a very solid foundation for reaching a final agreement. He said Iran has agreed to invite international atomic energy agency inspectors back into the country. He called this an important milestone for the U.S. and the first step toward permanently denuclearizing Iran or permanently ending its nuclear weapons program.
On June 22, the Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei as saying that Iran’s cooperation and interaction with the international atomic energy agency will continue according to the current mechanism, following the relevant laws passed by the Iranian parliament and decisions made by the Supreme National Security Council.
The report also quoted sources as saying that during the U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland, the Iranian side did not negotiate on nuclear issues and did not make any new commitments.
