Iran Walks Back Vance's Claim on Nuclear Inspector Access

Vice President Vance said June 22 that Iran agreed to readmit International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors after Swiss talks. Tehran denied it immediately. The dispute exposes a fundamental problem: without unfettered inspections, neither side can verify the other's compliance. With a 60-day deadline looming, the conflicting claims suggest either miscommunication or both sides staking out negotiating positions.
