Iran Keeps Contradicting Him."},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">Despite Iranian denials, inspections were a topic of discussion at the negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend, two officials familiar with the talks said. The idea under consideration would grant the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.\u2019s nuclear inspection arm, broad powers to inspect just about any suspect site on short notice. It revives ideas that were being discussed in February, in Geneva, when the Iranians and the Americans were meeting Jared Kushner, the president\u2019s son-in-law, and Steve Witkoff, his special envoy, before the negotiations broke off when Mr. Trump ordered the attack on Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">At the Swiss resort this past weekend, the secretary general of the I.A.E.A., Rafael Mariano Grossi, was in the hallways and negotiating rooms talking to each side, describing what kind of access his inspection teams would need to assure no nuclear fuel was being diverted to weapons projects, according to diplomats who were familiar with the discussions. The Iranians appeared to agree to the concept, but did not want to agree to dates or details until other parts of the accord \u2014 including when they would have access to billions of dollars in frozen funds \u2014 were worked out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">So when Mr. Vance declared on Monday that Tehran had agreed to allow I.A.E.A. inspectors into the sites, calling it \u201cthe first step\u201d toward ensuring that Iran did not obtain a nuclear weapon, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, immediately pushed back, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/irna_1313\/420337\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">saying<\/a> that there were no plans to allow inspectors access to facilities at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordo, all of which the United States bombed a year ago. And, in fact, there is no imminent plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">That prompted Mr. Trump to say on Tuesday that if there were no inspections, there was no accord. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was a little more careful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-140ip4z e1me5xab0\">\u201cI don\u2019t know why they have to say the things they say,\u201d Mr. Rubio told reporters in Abu Dhabi, where he was beginning a tour of the Gulf states, trying to drum up support for the deal with Iran. He noted the complexity of Iran\u2019s internal politics and said: \u201cI guess they\u2019ll navigate it. But we know what they agreed to do, and now they\u2019ll either do it or they won\u2019t.\u201d Mr. Trump, he said, \u201cwill have some decisions to make.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite Iranian denials, inspections were a topic of discussion at the negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend, two&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57666,1452,15263,106263,83103,14670,61145,76296,64680,27531,82151,9,11,10,16764,160,106264,27530,18538,62208,76290,1069,1554,1876,11753],"class_list":["post-276391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-assets","tag-donald-j","tag-frozen","tag-grossi","tag-international-atomic-energy-agency","tag-iran","tag-islamic-revolutionary-guards-corps","tag-j-d","tag-khamenei","tag-marco","tag-mojtaba-1969","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-nuclear-weapons","tag-peace-process","tag-rafael","tag-rubio","tag-state-department","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-threats-and-threatening-messages","tag-trump","tag-united-states-international-relations","tag-united-states-politics-and-government","tag-vance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
