U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran has agreed to allow nuclear inspections “into infinity,” while Iranian officials deny that any such agreement has been reached. The dispute comes as the United States and Iran discuss steps aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East and halting wider conflict. Trump also links the negotiations to the handling of Iranian financial assets, saying that certain “unfrozen” Iranian assets would be used to buy humanitarian supplies from the United States. Both outlets report that Tehran’s position contradicts Trump’s claims about the inspections and the substance of the talks.
Separately, Washington announces a 60-day sanctions waiver beginning Monday, following the first round of discussions described as early or nascent. The two accounts characterize the situation as uncertain and volatile, with public statements from Washington and Tehran diverging on key terms, including the scope of inspections and how assets would be applied. The disagreements leave the status and details of any emerging deal unclear at this stage.
