LOWER MACUNGIE TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania/DUBAI – U.S.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran had agreed to nuclear inspections into “infinity,” while Tehran said it had made no such concession in negotiations, raising questions about the viability of their fragile peace deal.
The two countries, which held a first round of negotiations in Switzerland that ended on Monday, also offered conflicting accounts about financial incentives for Iran, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and Israel’s parallel war in Lebanon — all major aspects of the framework deal they signed last week that aims to end the war.
Nevertheless, Trump said negotiations were going smoothly with Iran.

The U.S. also relaxed travel restrictions on Iran’s World Cup soccer team, allowing the squad to travel from Tijuana, Mexico, to Seattle two days before its next match instead of one.

Though prospects for a lasting peace are far from certain, the initial agreement between Washington and Tehran has allowed traffic to flow again through the strait, which typically handles one-fifth of global energy supply.
Oil prices on Tuesday were at their lowest level since before the war began on February 28, and the United Nations’ shipping agency said a it was working to evacuate 11,000 seafarers stranded when Iran closed the strategic waterway.
The agreement calls for Iran to allow traffic to flow freely for 60 days, but Iran has said it might impose tolls or other fees on shipping after that point.
Iran and Oman, which controls the other side of the strait, issued a joint statement on Tuesday stressing their “sovereign rights” in the waterway and saying they would work together to manage traffic, along with associated costs.
Oman said it had coordinated with the International Maritime Organization to provide a temporary maritime corridor for...
