US Vice President J.D. Vance tells NBC News in an interview that nuclear inspectors will “absolutely” be allowed to return to Iran as part of a deal with the US to end the war between the two countries.
“In fact, one of the core parts of the agreement is that the [International Atomic Energy Agency] and the United States are going to help Iran destroy the highly enriched stockpile, and that’s something that’s spelled out very clearly” in the memorandum of understanding the US and Iran have already agreed to, NBC quotes Vance saying.
