On June 24, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, announced that inspectors would be visiting Iran 's nuclear facilities, in accordance with an agreement between Tehran and Washington. Grossi affirmed that the document signed by the leaders of the two countries clearly states that activities related to Iran's nuclear materials and facilities will be monitored by the IAEA. According to him, the inspections "will take place," although the specific timing could be in a few days or longer.
However, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi rejected this claim. He argued that the issue of inspections could only be considered within the framework of a final agreement, after the US takes concrete action to end the sanctions.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran had agreed to allow international inspections at its nuclear facilities for an indefinite period. Tehran insisted that its nuclear program had not been discussed in the first round of negotiations and that it had not agreed to allow IAEA inspectors back to its uranium enrichment facilities.

The IAEA has been granted access to some of Iran's nuclear facilities since the 12-day conflict with Israel in 2025, but has yet to inspect uranium enrichment sites. The agency says it cannot verify Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium or the condition of its centrifuges without full access.
The US and Iran are also at odds over the amount of Tehran's assets frozen overseas. Trump said the freed funds would be used to purchase food and medicine from the US. Meanwhile, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, stated that Tehran has the right to decide how to use the money.
The interim agreement signed last week requires Iran to dilute its highly enriched uranium, while the US temporarily eases sanctions on Tehran's oil exports for 60 days. The two sides are expected to continue expert-level talks in Switzerland early next week.
Issues related to the Strait of Hormuz, Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, and the Israeli troop withdrawal remain points of contention that could affect the progress of US-Iran negotiations.
