Iran, Trump Admin Disagree on Whether Nuclear Inspection Agreement Reached
President Trump: “If they did not agree to (nuclear inspections), there would be no further negotiations!”
The U.S.-Iran summit in Switzerland has run into trouble on its third day, with both sides making conflicting claims. A day after Vice President JD Vance hailed a ‘major milestone’ in talks, declaring Iran had agreed to allow United Nations inspectors back into the country, the Iranian negotiators denied the claim.
On Monday, Vance touted the agreement on nuclear inspectors as “a major milestone for the American people, and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran.”
“Yesterday was a very, very good day. We made a lot of good progress,” says @VP on the four big accomplishments negotiated yesterday in Switzerland.

Reuters reported Tuesday that “Iran denied it had begun discussions on its nuclear program at the talks, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, and said it had not agreed to invite back International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors.”
Tehran would not allow the IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog agency, anywhere close to facilities linked to its nuclear weapons program. Many of these sites were targets of recent U.S. and Israeli strikes. “Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday Iranian officials had not held a meeting with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi in Switzerland and had no plans for the U.N. nuclear watchdog to inspect Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities,” the news agency added.

President Donald Trump slammed the Iranian regime on Tuesday after it backtracked on what he insisted was a full agreement to the “highest level” of nuclear inspections.
“Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future,” he posted on Truth Social. “If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!”

Iran to reap billions in pre-deal windfall
Meanwhile, Tehran expects to receive billions from the U.S. without offering concessions in the current negotiations. “Iran said $12 billion of its frozen funds were set to be released as part of ongoing talks with the US,” Bloomberg reported.
President Trump insists that the U.S. will have full control over the unfrozen funds and they “will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States, including Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans from our great American Farmers.”
Tehran, the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism, will gain an additional $8–9 billion over the next two months after the U.S. waived oil sanctions. “The U.S. has issued a sweeping rollback of sanctions on Iranian oil,” CNBC reported Tuesday. “The license could unlock a floating inventory of around 67 million barrels of Iranian crude stranded in the Gulf, handing Iran a potential financial windfall of $8 billion to $9 billion according to Miad Maleki, a former Treasury sanctions official and now a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based think tank.”
Iran plans to ‘share’ Hormuz with Oman, impose toll on maritime trade
Even before reaching a U.S. deal, Iran has begun carving up the Middle East. Tehran announced that it is working on a deal to “share” the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, an arrangement that could enable the regime to extort ships and oil tankers passing through the waterway.
“Iran and Oman will study the costs to be charged for services provided in administering the Strait of Hormuz, the two countries said Tuesday, insisting they held sovereignty over the waterway,” the France24 TV channel reported Tuesday. “Tehran has repeatedly said it plans to charge what it calls maritime service fees for crossing the strait, as opposed to tolls, a plan fiercely opposed by the United States.”
The Sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tariq, met with Iran's chief negotiator Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi at Al Barakah Palace, according to the Omani Sultanate. The sides discussed the U.S.-Iran MoU, joint management of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's nuclear program. pic.twitter.com/n8faI1nXPY

This is such a farcical and transparently self-debasing humiliation exercise, being acted out by the greasy, duplicitous and mendacious Iranian hustlers. These vile pukes know exactly what they are doing.
The Iranians have no intention of letting #47 or Vance gain even the pretense of having achieved a meaningful and substantive achievement of statecraft. No handshakes. Constant disrespect, hostility and spurned overtures. Constant bad faith rhetoric and behavior.
Gee — it’s almost as if this is the type of regime that chants and slanders the U.S., as “the Great Satan.”
Inspections are key to any nuclear deal. The US and that is the US and not the UN or any internation body subject to blackmail or bribing. must be able to inspect anywhere at anytime with no notice. If that isn’t part of the deal the US should walk away because anything else would be a sham as these deals usually are.
Have inspections ever worked?
One consequence of the SALT treaties was inspections performed by US and Russia as they dismantled delivery systems that were no longer valid by treaty. Those kind of worked. I don’t recall any publicized blatant violations but I’m not positive.
The agreement signed to end the first Iraqi war included inspections by an international agency. Those didn’t worked. Saddam played games at times not letting them inspect. I think that was part of the justification for Iraq War 2. It was so unnecessary because they weren’t really actively pursuing a nuclear weapon and they FAFOd.
“We have an agreement.”
Except we don’t agree about anything in it.
This is Obamacare on crack.
Iranians playing Trump and Vance like the chumps they are. Hopefully before too much irreversible damage is allowed to happen both will wise up to the fact that the Iranian Theocratic Regime has no intention of ever agreeing to anything that the Trump Administration proposes and takes all appropriate actions necessary to permanently remove Iran as a threat to the US and the world. But I doubt that will happen.
eot
We can finally say we have an agreement when the Islamic Republic is martyred and the country is turned over to the Persian people.
They know Trump is desperate because of the elections
I’m hoping Trump takes them out the day after
Midterm elections, but also, fears of market turmoil/volatility — despite the markets having recovered from the far more devastating Wuhan virus-inflicted crash, in a record three months.
Do us a favor and leave Vance home. He is over his head dealing with Pakis, who are animals, and Iranians, who you can never believe.
Howzabout we just bomb the s–t out of them, and take comfort in the fact that dead people cannot develop nuclear weapons?
A regime of terrorists doesn’t want to have their nuclear program inspected? The same regime falling back into prior practices of pretending not understand what their requirements are and attempting to ignore/delay the parts of any a great they don’t like?
I am shocked …not even a little bit and neither is the Trump Admin. This little dance the Iranians do is old, tired and totally expected.
Everyone needs to chill. This MOU isn’t a final agreement. The better Iran behaves and the more they operate in good faith the better any final terms for them will be. The opposite very much holds true as well IMO. We have five months to restore some excess oil supply domestically and in world markets. That gets us to Nov post midterm. Then with the election pressure gone and with a better oil/LNG supply worldwide to last a 2-3 month interruption as we pound the snot out of the Iranian infrastructure we can do so if they backslide during the MOU period.
Now if they backsliding and President Trump refused to act forcefully and decisively to bring the regime to heel ‘civilization ending strikes’ I believe he promised, then we should be upset. Until then this is a strategic pause.
The problem is going to become one of funding. If Congress stops the money flow because of lots of reasons then for Trump to continue he is going to have to ignore congress. Then we have a constitutional crisis. Possibly the biggest one we will have had in a long time. All bets are off if that occurs,
This is the reason why he should have never stopped bombing and continued to flatten Iran during the period of time before the war powers act potentially cut in and he had an essential free reign. This is why stopping the bombing and attempting to obtain a deal he was never going to get anyway was and is a bad move.
By the way, any deal he could potentially get would never satisfy anyone in the US with the exception of those that hate the US and/or love Iran. It was always going to be on Iran’s terms because Iran was perfectly happy to never obtain a deal and wait the US out. This is because the US was never going to invade Iran to overthrow the mullahs and neither was anyone else for that matter. After all the US basically neutered anyone who might of,
Agreed about the decision to extend the first ceasefire. Giving a rudderless regime who had their leadership clipped several layers down the org chart 72-96 hours to figure out who was ‘next man up’ and respond to Trump Admin demands was fine. Good PR move demonstrating tangible compassion …but extending it? Heck no. Once it expired and without good faith by Iranian regime …bump them …they had their chance and blew it, so blow up infrastructure, everything but the oil rigs and pipelines and give them another opportunity to off ramp. If they refuse, we blow those up as well then fire bomb it into slag and go home. The first truck showing up at suspected nuke sites or underground missile production/storage sites to dig them out and drop more bombs/missile on them. This time taking out every building greater than one story. Tell them in advance so they can exit …or not, their choice.
The ‘deal’ is IMO a ruse. A tar baby for the Iranian regime to stick their hands into to try and manipulate. Today WE need a strategic pause. Post midterms THEY will need a pause and if they’ve been naughty between now demonstrating bad faith then they gonna get spanked. At least I hope that’s what is going on. The alternative is Trump lost his nerve when they refused to surrender and he figured out how many people would die when take out their infrastructure. It’s a tough play to call … but he’s the one that wanted to be President, hes the one that changed the initial goals into ‘unconditional surrender’ achieved by civilization ending strikes and living with that sort of stain on your soul is part of the job description.
The Democrat controlled Congress handed the North Vietnamese the South by stopping funding. Considering the Islamo-Marxist US coalition, this is inevitable.
Kinda by definition, if we don’t agree on whether an agreement was reached, then an agreement hasn’t actually been reached.
I say hunt down every last member of the regime and give them the Soleimani treatment. Then ask the people who wants to be in charge.
Dear Donald, stop playing Charlie Brown to their Lucy.
Muslims working deals for other Muslims. Just stop thinking they’re truthful and wipe out the IRGC then deal with what’s left. We did it to Japan, do it to Iran.
The legacy media and Iranian PR officials have spoken. They as usual offer only absolute truth. There can be no doubt that they have no ulterior motives to the content of their message.
The issue here isn’t with what the Iranian negotiators are saying, but with what the IRGC leaders, and the media outlets they control, are saying. And the IRGC itself is decentralized, deliberately, and under regional control of different competing factions.
Which has been, in every case, the exact opposite of what the Iranian political leadership has been saying.
To say, “Iran says…” without specifying exactly who that source is, on any issue, is incredibly dishonest.
Which, of course, Reuters is. Just absolute garbage propaganda.
