Grossi Confirms Inspections Will Happen
IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi holds a news conference, stating that while timing is not yet fixed, IAEA inspectors will soon return to Iran’s nuclear sites.
U.S.-Iran MoU Signed
The United States and Iran sign a memorandum of understanding establishing a 60-day negotiation period and Iran’s commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, with IAEA inspections as a central component.
Conflicting Statements Emerge
U.S. Vice President JD Vance claims Iran agreed to allow inspectors; Iran’s Foreign Ministry later denies any such plans.
IAEA inspectors will soon re-enter Iranian sites under a fragile MoU, but contradictory statements from Tehran and Washington raise profound questions about international law’s ability to enforce verification. The 60-day negotiation window forces lawyers and regulators to confront the limits of treaty compliance and dispute resolution in the non-proliferation arena.
