Iran has agreed to invite International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors into the country, as announced by Vice President JD Vance on Monday after the first round of U.S.–Iran nuclear talks held in Switzerland. The U.S. aimed for these talks to conclude with an Iranian invitation for UN inspectors to visit key nuclear sites, which were previously bombed by the U.S. and Israel. The last visit by inspectors occurred before the war in June 2025.
Vance indicated that coordination among Iran, the U.S., and the IAEA for the visit would occur within the week, possibly as soon as the same day, although Iran has not yet confirmed this. He did not provide details regarding the level of access the inspectors would receive. Technical teams are expected to continue negotiations in Switzerland following the departure of high-level officials.
