File image of US President Donald Trump. (Source: Reuters) United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday rejected Iran’s claim that no visit had been scheduled for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), insisting Tehran had already agreed to allow the UN nuclear watchdog into the country. “They’re wrong, they’re wrong, they know they’re wrong," Trump told reporters after landing in Pennsylvania, when asked about Iranian officials’ denial of any scheduled visit for IAEA inspectors and whether inspections were part of the agreement reached between the two countries. “They told us inside, and we have it down 100%. And if they were right, I’d cancel the meetings right now," he said. When asked when IAEA inspectors would be deployed to Iran, Trump did not specify a timeframe, saying only that they would arrive “at the appropriate time" and stressing that “there is no rush." Earlier on Tuesday, Trump also said Iran had “fully and completely agreed" to long-term nuclear inspections and announced that the United States would not proceed with a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

This will ensure ‘Nuclear Honesty,'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Based on this and other major concessions being made by Iran, I have agreed to allow the Hormuz Strait to remain OPEN, with no further Naval Blockade. However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the Blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely," he added. ‘We Have Iran In A Position Nobody’s Ever Had’ Meanwhile, Trump on Tuesday claimed that Iran was in an unprecedented position of weakness, saying the Islamic Republic was grappling with severe economic distress even as Washington continued negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme and regional security. “We have Iran in a position that nobody’s ever had. This should have been done for 47 years by other presidents," Trump said while speaking to reporters in Pennsylvania. Trump said Iran was facing widespread shortages and runaway inflation, arguing that any future sanctions relief would ultimately benefit ordinary Iranians.
