Trump continues to claim that Iran made concessions

Trump continues to claim that Iran made concessions

Since the release of a memorandum of understanding last week, which appeared to lean heavily toward Iran, the Trump administration has continued to claim that Tehran has agreed to other major concessions in ongoing negotiations.

The problem is that none of them appeared in the Memorandum of Understanding and Iran continues to deny them.

And given the Trump administration's own demonstrated credibility problems, it's not at all clear who to trust.

Nuclear inspections

The biggest example came Tuesday morning, when President Donald Trump made the massive claim that Iran has already agreed to major nuclear inspections forever.

“... Iran has fully and completely agreed to higher level nuclear inspections in the future (Infinity!!!),” he wrote on Truth Social . “This will ensure (sic) ‘Nuclear Honesty’. If they don’t agree to this, there will be no further negotiations!”

Similarly, Vice President JD Vance at a press conference Monday in Switzerland cited a “major achievement.” He said Iran had agreed to accept inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

But Iran has rejected the idea that there has been any significant movement on this front.

Instead, it said its work with the IAEA, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, would continue "according to current procedures."

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Iran had not agreed to inspectors examining its severely damaged nuclear plants and that it had not made "any new commitments."

In fact, despite Vance's claim of major progress, the IAEA already has limited access to Iran. So just allowing access is not, in itself, a major step forward.

More thorough inspections were also a key part of the Obama administration's deal with Iran, from which Trump withdrew.

But Trump did not back down Tuesday afternoon, on his way to an event in Pennsylvania. "They're wrong, they're wrong," he told reporters of the Iranians. "We've done it: 100 percent inspections. And if they were right, I would cancel the meetings immediately."
