Rubio: "We know what they agreed to"

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday said the Iranians have agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into their country, chalking up the Iranian government's denials to "domestic politics."

"I don't know why they have to say the things they say, whatever their internal or domestic politics is," he told reporters upon arriving in Abu Dhabi.

"We know what they agreed to do. Now they'll either do it or they won't. And if they do, the process moves forward, and if they don't, the president will have some decisions to make."

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance said Iranian negotiators agreed during the first round of talks in Switzerland to invite inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to some of their nuclear sites.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry, however, said the country had made "no new commitments" regarding nuclear inspections.

Secretary Rubio also said that neither Iran nor any other country would be allowed to charge tolls for shipping using the vital Strait of Hormuz.

"That's the law. It's an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. That's existing international law," he said. "That's the way it is in international waterways all over the world, and that's the way we expect it'll be here."
