Iran live updates: Trump says 'no further Naval Blockade,' saying Iran agreed to nuclear inspections

 President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Delegations from the United States and Iran arrived over the weekend at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland, where they entered negotiations aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed last week by both countries.

Trump says 'no further Naval Blockade,' saying Iran agreed to nuclear inspections

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iranian officials agreed "fully and completely" to allow inspections of its nuclear sites, saying the Strait of Hormuz would remain open as long as Tehran held to those terms.

Iran’s Foreign Minister spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, said early on Tuesday that Tehran does not "have any plans" to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to access sites damaged during the war, according to Iranian state media.

Despite Iran's "protestations and false statements to the contrary," officials in Tehran have "fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!)," Trump said on social media on Tuesday. "This will insure 'Nuclear Honesty.' If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!"

"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," Trump added. "However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the Blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely."

Iran and the United States agreed to allow traffic through the strait as part of the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed last week by both countries.

Iran's delegation did not meet with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi during the U.S.-Iranian talks in Switzerland, IRNA reported. 

Vice President JD Vance said on Monday during a news conference in Lucerne, Switzerland, that Iran had agreed to allow the United Nations-affiliated IAEA inspectors to enter their country.

"The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country," Vance told reporters at Bürgenstock, the Swiss resort where the talks were held. 

He added, "That is a major milestone for the American people, and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran, and that's exactly

wanted to do, that's exactly what we asked to happen."

Rubio held calls with Netanyahu, Lebanese president

In addition to speaking with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Secretary of State Rubio also held a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to discuss “solidifying” a ceasefire and "future talks,” a U.S. official confirmed.

As a result of those calls, the U.S. "started a monitoring mechanism via CENTCOM so that our policymakers have real time and accurate information about fighting in Lebanon,” the official said.
