WASHINGTON — Asked about Iran’s assertion that it has not agreed to grant UN inspectors access to its nuclear sites, US President Donald Trump responds, “They’re wrong.”

Asked what he will say to Senate Republicans tomorrow who have criticized his Iran agreement, Trump says: “Anybody’s that’s been critical of it has to be educated, even if they’re friends of mine.”

“They know they’re wrong. They told us inside [negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend], and we have it down — 100% inspections,” Trump tells reporters.

“And if they [the Iranians] were right, I’d cancel the meetings right now,” Trump adds, indicating that technical talks with Iran will continue.

Asked when UN inspectors will actually arrive in Iran, Trump responds that they will do so at the appropriate time.
