Washington: US Vice President JD Vance on Monday reiterated his claim that Iran has agreed to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, while Tehran denies making any new commitments on its nuclear program. Vance emphasized the importance of this development, stating that it marks the first time in a long period that Iranian authorities have opened their doors to nuclear inspectors, aiming to prevent the nation from acquiring nuclear weapons.

According to Anadolu Agency, Vance addressed reporters before leaving Switzerland, following discussions with Iranian officials. He mentioned that the recent negotiations in Burgenstock have set the groundwork for potentially significant changes in Middle Eastern dynamics, although he clarified that a final agreement is not yet in place.

Technical discussions between US and Iranian representatives are set to continue in the coming days, with both parties maintaining their presence in Switzerland to advance the negotiations. Vance expressed optimism about the progress made, noting the continued efforts of both nations’ teams to resolve technical issues at the resort where the talks are being held.

Vance concluded by expressing his satisfaction with the developments over the past few days, highlighting the ongoing commitment to reach a conclusive agreement.
