US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be deployed on the ground “at the appropriate time.”

The United States is working to reach a final agreement with Iran, Trump reaffirmed, adding that Tehran is “wrong” regarding inspections conducted by the IAEA. “There is no need to rush sending nuclear inspectors to Iran.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran had not held a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in Switzerland and does not plan to allow inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities that were recently damaged.

Director General of the IAEA Rafael Mariano Grossi stated that the agency's top priority is determining the location of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Speaking to reporters, Grossi confirmed that the IAEA intends to conduct inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities, adding that “it would be best for inspections of Iranian nuclear sites to take place as soon as possible.”
