Trump says Iran will allow nuclear inspections as Tehran reopens airspace
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Iran has agreed to allow international nuclear inspectors back into the country, despite Tehran's denial that any new commitments have been made regarding inspections of its nuclear program.
Speaking to reporters, Trump dismissed Iranian statements rejecting such an agreement and insisted that inspections would take place “at the appropriate time.” He also reiterated that Iran had agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons, saying ongoing contacts between Washington and Tehran were aimed at ensuring regional and global security.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, denied making any new commitments related to international inspections or its nuclear activities, contradicting remarks by US officials, including Vice President JD Vance.
Meanwhile, Iran’s civil aviation authority announced the reopening of the country's western airspace, restoring 24-hour operations alongside the eastern sector.
Authorities said the necessary conditions had been established for domestic and transit flights to resume over Iranian territory. Airports across the country have been authorized to operate under existing aviation regulations, while Kish and Asaluyeh airports in southern Iran will continue operating during daylight hours.
