US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that Iran has “fully and completely agreed to highest level nuclear inspections long into the future,” even as Iranian officials strongly denied that such terms were part of ongoing discussions.
“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 said, adding, “This will ensure ‘nuclear honesty.’ If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations.”
He further said that, based on what he described as “major concessions” from Iran, he had agreed to keep the Hormuz Strait open with no naval blockade, though US naval forces would remain deployed and ready to act if necessary.
“However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely.”
Trump said that the money and sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the U.S.A., and 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, describing the situation as a humanitarian necessity.
“These are things that are desperately needed by Iran. This is a humanitarian crisis, and I feel it is necessary to help now, before it is too late. Talks are going well,” Trump added.
Trump also claimed that “19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait (on Monday) — an all-time RECORD,” adding that oil prices were falling and “the world is a much safer place.” His claims have not been independently verified. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said the developments were linked to a deal he said he had concluded with Iran last week. He argued that continued conflict with Tehran would have led to economic catastrophe, highlighting what he described as Iran’s leverage in negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump’s statement came after Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that the country’s missile programme was not discussed in talks with the United States held in Switzerland and rejected any possibility of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections at nuclear facilities damaged during the Iran-Israel conflict involving US support.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran’s missile capabilities were never part of negotiations with Washington. “Iran’s missile capabilities were not part of the negotiations with the United States,” he said.
Baqaei also ruled out allowing IAEA inspectors access to nuclear sites struck during the conflict, stating, “We do not intend to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit the nuclear sites targeted during the conflict.” He rejected reports of any meeting in Switzerland between Iranian officials and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, saying no such contact had taken place and no inspections of damaged facilities were planned.
On financial matters, Baqaei said Iran would not face restrictions on the use of any unfrozen assets, adding that Tehran retains full discretion over such funds. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran’s priority is protecting the rights of its people while advancing regional peace and stability.
He said any agreement must be implemented strictly within the framework of international law and national rights, stressing that progress depends on full compliance with commitments. “The effectiveness of the talks depends on full commitment to the agreed obligations and their precise implementation. Progress on this path will be measured by practical adherence to accepted responsibilities. Statements outside the agreed text do not help advance the negotiations,” he said.
