Iran agrees to allow UN nuclear inspectors to enter country - J.D. Vance

Iran has agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to enter the country, which means the US has achieved its goal of halting Iran’s nuclear program. US Vice President J.D. Vance made this announcement, CNN reported on Monday, June 22.

Vance noted that the negotiations between the US and Iran went very well and laid the groundwork for a final agreement. According to him, the parties agreed on four priorities during technical talks, one of which was a mechanism for demining and restoring trade in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the creation of a similar mechanism for a regional ceasefire.

“Iran has agreed to accept inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is probably what excites us most as Americans. This is an important milestone for the American people and the first step toward the final denuclearization or permanent cessation of Iran’s nuclear program, and that is exactly what we wanted to achieve,” Vance said.

In addition, the negotiators were able to set up a process for continuing technical talks, which will serve as the foundation for reaching a final agreement, the US Vice President emphasized. Regarding the clashes between the Iranian-backed “Hezbollah” and Israel in southern Lebanon, negotiations are ongoing, Vance stated.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on June 15, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that agreements had been reached between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump confirmed the conclusion of the agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
