Tehran categorically refuted circulating reports claiming it offered to grant International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors access to its nuclear sites in exchange for easing economic sanctions. The remarks came from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei during a press briefing
on Sunday, addressing inquiries about whether Iran’s proposal to the United States included such terms, affirming that this matter was never raised at all. Baghaei explained that his country did not engage in any talks based on trade-offs, noting, according
to official IRNA news agency, that Iranian officials merely communicated their conditions to intermediaries under the "Seven-Day Plan" for delivery to Washington.
