Ismail Baqai, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, rejected the Islamic Republic's invitation to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to come to Iran and inspect nuclear facilities on Friday.

He stated, "Inspections of facilities where the Agency's access was halted due to military attacks will depend on the negotiation process and its outcome."

Earlier, JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, mentioned in an interview with NBC following the recent agreement that, based on the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, IAEA inspectors will "definitely" return to Iran.

Ismail Baqai also mentioned that they are planning to hold a meeting in the coming days.

The meeting between representatives of Iran and the United States, which was scheduled to take place on Friday in Switzerland, has been canceled.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry announced, "Considering that the signing of the memorandum text was done digitally in the early hours of June 18, holding the aforementioned meeting in Switzerland is not urgent."

He also deemed reports about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as "baseless" and stated that shipping in this route is ongoing.
