White House Accuses Media of Echoing Iranian Propaganda on Nuclear Inspections as Trump Claims Iran Agreed

Summary
White House officials on Tuesday attacked mainstream outlets for citing Iranian state media reports that Tehran would not honor nuclear inspections, saying U.S. negotiators had secured agreement to “robust” monitoring.
JD Vance said Iran’s technical team remained in Bürgenstock and talks made “great progress,” rejecting reports that Iranian negotiators walked out while the U.S. delegation was still in Switzerland.
Trump amplified that message in a Truth Social post, saying Iran had accepted the “highest level” of inspections, while later telling reporters inspections would occur at “the appropriate time.”
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian still drew limits around any deal, saying Tehran would never negotiate its missile defense capabilities even as U.S.-Iran peace talks continued.
The dispute over sourcing and terms has widened Republican divisions over whether the administration’s memorandum of understanding with Tehran amounts to a clear post-campaign victory.
