Source: US Claim on IAEA Inspectors' Return to Iran 'False, Baseless'
A knowledgeable source has rejected American officials' claims that International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have been allowed back into Iran, calling the assertion completely untrue.
The source told Fars News Agency that during the Switzerland talks between Iran and the United States, no discussion whatsoever took place regarding the presence of inspectors in the country.On Monday evening, the US Vice President and the US Treasury Secretary claimed that Tehran had agreed to allow IAEA inspectors back into the country.Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baqaei told reporters: "Iran's interactions with the agency will continue in accordance with Iran's obligations under safeguard agreements, following existing procedures and in line with the approvals of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Parliament) and decisions of the Supreme National Security Council."According to officials familiar with the content of yesterday's Iran-US talks in Switzerland, Tehran did not engage in any nuclear-related negotiations during the 18-hour session and accepted no new commitments.The initiation of nuclear talks under the Islamabad Memorandum framework for ending the war between Iran and the United States remains contingent upon the implementation of Clause 13 of the memorandum.Over the past year, Iran's cooperation with the IAEA—even following the 12-day war—has never been fully suspended.
Within the framework of the "Law Requiring the Government to Suspend Cooperation with the IAEA," passed on June 25, 2025, Tehran has, on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with Supreme National Security Council resolutions, invited IAEA inspectors to visit Iran's active nuclear sites. In the year since the law's enactment, IAEA inspectors—with Supreme National Security Council approval—have conducted several inspections of the Bushehr nuclear power plant and have monitored the fuel-loading process at the facility by Russia.
