US Vice President JD Vance says Iran has agreed to allow inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog to return to the country, following direct talks between the United States and Iran. In his remarks, Vance describes the step as creating a “good foundation” for a potential Iran nuclear deal. The agreement, as characterised by the US, involves the re-entry of UN inspectors who had previously been prevented from accessing relevant nuclear sites. One outlet also links the earlier suspension of cooperation to a period about a year ago, when Iran limited some nuclear cooperation and blocked inspectors, including at sites tied to alleged impacts from a 12-day war in 2025 involving the United States and Israel. Across the reports, the shared point is that Iran’s decision to permit the return of UN inspectors is presented as a significant development after direct negotiations. The reports do not detail further terms of any deal or specific timelines beyond the inspectors’ planned return.
