Iran and permission to inspect nuclear sites
Posted: 25th June 2026
The U.S. and Iran were in dispute Tuesday over whether Tehran had agreed to allow U.N. inspections of its nuclear sites. As officials negotiated over how to permanently end the war in Iran, a separate plan emerged to break the shipping bottleneck through the Strait of Hormuz. The disagreement over nuclear inspections came as Iran´s president met with Pakistani mediators and technical teams from the U.S. and Iran continued talks in Switzerland. A United Nations agency said Tuesday that a plan was underway to move stranded ships and their thousands of crew members through the strait – a vital passage for global energy supplies that Iran had blocked after the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28.

Iran has denied a claim by US Vice-President JD Vance that it will allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, after the first round of talks between Washington and Tehran to reach a final deal to end the war. US President Donald Trump also said that despite Iran’s “protestations and false statements to the contrary”, it had “fully and completely agreed” to inspections. However, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said it had no plans to allow inspectors to access nuclear sites bombed by the US and Israel last year.
