WASHINGTON, June 23 (ANI) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that Iran has agreed to long-term, comprehensive inspections of its nuclear facilities, while also stating that the United States will not impose further restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iranian leaders had made significant concessions during ongoing diplomatic negotiations aimed at reaching a broader peace framework following recent Middle East tensions.
“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 the highest-level nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!),” Trump wrote.
He added that the agreement would ensure what he called “nuclear honesty” and warned that talks would not continue without such conditions.
Trump also said Washington had allowed the Strait of Hormuz to remain open and halted plans for additional naval enforcement operations, while maintaining military readiness in the region.
“Based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran, I have agreed to allow the Hormuz Strait to remain open, with no further naval blockade,” he said.
However, Iranian officials disputed the U.S. president’s claims regarding nuclear oversight arrangements. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran had not agreed to International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of facilities affected by previous U.S. and Israeli strikes.
“We have not had a meeting with the director general of the IAEA, nor do we have any plans for the agency to inspect Iran’s nuclear facilities damaged by the U.S. and Zionist military aggression,” Baqaei said.
Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations also rejected the U.S. assertions, highlighting differences between Washington’s statements and Tehran’s position.
Trump further said that any sanctions relief or financial release would be strictly controlled by the U.S. Treasury and used for purchasing basic goods from American producers.
“The money and/or sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing go 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,” he said.
He described the situation in Iran as a humanitarian crisis and said the measures were necessary to provide urgent assistance.
The developments follow recent U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland under a preliminary understanding aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days. Key issues under discussion include Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, and the release of frozen assets.
