What to know about the Iran war today:
- President Trump said Tuesday that Iran had “fully and completely” agreed to allow nuclear inspections, but Tehran said there were “no plans” for IAEA inspectors to return to its bombed enrichment sites. Vice President JD Vance said Monday that U.N. inspectors could return as soon as this week, though Mr. Trump said Tuesday there was “no rush.”
- Iran’s chief negotiator told state media Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz will “never return to its pre-war conditions” and that Iran will maintain control of the vital waterway.
- Monday was the busiest day for transits of the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, with 35 commercial vessels crossing the waterway, according to data from the maritime tracking firm Kpler. That is still only about a third of pre-war traffic levels, but it likely does not include some ships that transited the strait with their location transponders switched off.
