The US vice president has told NBC News that the deal to end the war “absolutely” includes nuclear inspectors returning to Iran.
He added that while the exact date for their return is still to be agreed upon, he expects it will “happen very quickly”. He also said the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will play a role in destroying Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.
“One of the core parts of the agreement is that the IAEA and the United States are going to help Iran destroy the highly enriched stockpile, and that is something that is spelled out very clearly in the MoU,” he said.
He also said “benefits will flow” to Iran “if they comply”.
“That’s what we hope to see. We want them to behave like a normal country. I want them to have a successful country, but only if they do what’s necessary to commit long term to not building a nuclear weapon.”
