Clashing U.S. and Iranian Claims on Nuclear Inspection Show Challenge Ahead
(New York Times) Leo Sands - President Trump said Tuesday that Iran had "fully and completely agreed to the highest level nuclear inspections," adding that "If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!" The comments came after Esmail Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, responded with a flat "no" when asked if Tehran, in the latest round of peace talks, had agreed to permit inspectors from the UN to access its war-damaged nuclear sites. The divergent accounts of what was agreed in the latest U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland on Sunday and Monday underscored the distrust surrounding the negotiations.
