JD Vance says Iran agreed to IAEA inspections in Swiss talks

politicsJun 23, 2026222,356

Vice President J.D. Vance said after talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland that Iran agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country and to let frozen Iranian assets be used, under an oversight mechanism, to purchase U.S. agricultural goods. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei directly contradicted that claim, saying Tehran has no plans to open bomb-damaged nuclear sites to UN inspectors and that the nuclear issue was barely discussed. Qatar and Pakistan participated as mediators, and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described the sessions as yielding "encouraging progress" while U.S. officials called the development a "major milestone." If true, confirmed inspections and a controlled release of assets could de-escalate regional tensions and provide humanitarian relief, but the public contradiction highlights serious verification and trust hurdles before any agreement can be implemented.

NEW: Iran won't let UN inspectors into the nuclear sites the US and Israel bombed, foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told reporters today. That contradicts JD Vance, who said yesterday that Iran had agreed in the Switzerland talks to let inspectors back into the country. Somebody’s lying.

Sadly, the Iranian regime could not have hired more positive PR than they are getting right now if they engaged the best and brightest shop in the business and gave them a blank check.

CarolinaCalling10

It wasn't in the original "memo" for the Iran sites to be inspected. So Vance and Trump continue to lie.

Vance lying??? No the most honest man in the US after his boss…🤦‍♂️🙃

Why would you let anyone into a nuclear site that America and Israel just bombed ?

So far it appears that the liars are all over on the US side. What a bizarre reality we’ve descended into.

BREAKING: Qatar and Pakistan have released a joint statement announcing the conclusion of the Lake Lucerne Summit and the first High-Level Committee meeting involving the United States and Iran.

Joint Statement by the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Regarding The Conclusion of Lake Lucerne Summit, First High-Level Committee Meeting with Participation of the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran

The first session of high level talks under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding have concluded in Burgenstock, Switzerland, with the participation of representatives from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United States of America, and the two mediating parties, the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The Lake Lucerne Summit was conducted in a positive and constructive atmosphere. Encouraging progress has been made including the creation of a mechanism for further technical talks.

Building on the MoU, the parties have agreed to the establishment of a High Level Committee, which will provide political oversight on the mediation. Chief negotiators will report regularly to the High Level Committee and lead working groups focused on nuclear, sanctions, and a monitoring and dispute resolution group to ensure the effective implementation of the MoU, and on other matters.

The High Level Committee has agreed upon a roadmap towards reaching a final deal within 60 days, laying the foundation for the immediate commencement of further technical talks. In addition, a communication line between the parties has been formed for the period mentioned in paragraph 5 of the MoU to avoid incidents and miscommunication with the aim of safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Moreover, the parties agreed on the creation of a de-confliction cell, between the parties, the Lebanese Republic and facilitated by the Mediators, to ensure the adherence of the termination of military operations in Lebanon as per the MoU. Technical talks will continue for the remainder of the week at the Burgenstock resort on all issues.

The mediating parties will continue to do their utmost to ensure that t…

A lot of words that say absolutely nothing. A group formed to facilitate another group to facilitate another group. Word salad. Absolutely nothing concrete negotiated. What a waste of everybody's time and money.

None of this carries any weight unless it reigns in the murderous Israeli regime and their wanton extrajudicious killing of civilians and journalists. Israel MUST be bent towards the rule of law. There is no peace nor accord without this.

It’s never going to work, they formed a committee. Committees are only made to make it impossible to do the job. Just ask Congress.

kitty877.bsky.social2

So they agreed they will work on a possible agreement for 60 days.... That's it?

Is that business days or regular days? Doesn't matter; we are all beholden to two men with terrible comb overs. No f'ing way can Trump control Bibi.

But what will Israel do?

MEIDAS DAVE!!! 🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️2

Another colossal L Itan literally walked out of the summit. Just left Vance and Witkoff and Kuschner holding their collective dicks in their hands

Bill2

They must have agreed that Trump is nuts and to not consider his warnings about bombings, taking over Iran, and setting up a Trump piracy toll in the Hormuz Strait, with the US taking 20% of the oil. They all must of had quite a chuckle.

Oh blah blah blah … this bullshit is all on Dump … total mess … nice job fatso 🙄🖕🙄

JD Vance says he came up with nuclear inspectors in Iran. The IAEA has been doing nuclear inspections since 1957. This is either deliberate deception or shocking ignorance about diplomatic history. Rebranding 70-year-old international frameworks as personal innovation is not leadership. #GOPLIES

The US-Iran talks have ended in Bürgenstock, Switzerland. Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif says they “yielded encouraging progress”. Doesn’t sound like a resounding success.

Probably the first 'peace talks' in history when both sides were expecting the other to surrender, while the level of trust in any outcome reached zero. Pointless exercise.

Steven Evangelista2

Or unconditional surrender. Is the Strait open?

CA-NC-GA Lady2

They will word-smith w euphemisms until the cows come home. The Strait is closed. Nothing has changed. Those ‘negotiators’ are self-serving and not there for the betterment of the US.

DCLascelle 🇨🇦2

Especially considering that Pakistan’s statements thus far regarding Iran-U.S. negotiations have been consistently overly optimistic.

Jussi2

The negotiations are conducted in an unorthodox manner, there's so much noise that it's impossible to say what's really going on.
