U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that Iran has fully agreed to future nuclear inspections, a claim Iran has denied. He also stated that Iran was wrong about there being no plans for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to visit its nuclear sites, adding they would arrive at the "appropriate time." The U.S. has waived sanctions on Iran for 60 days, allowing oil and petrochemical sales, with Trump stating that released Iranian funds must be used for U.S. agricultural purchases. This assertion is disputed by Iran's Central Bank governor and Iran's UN ambassador, who stated Tehran will solely determine the use of its unfrozen assets. An agreement includes the release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Democrats criticized the administration for granting sanctions relief without substantial progress on Iran's nuclear program or regional activities. President Trump is also scheduled to meet with executives from weapons manufacturers on Wednesday. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only 24% of Americans believe the war with Iran was worth the costs, and a majority expressed doubt about the durability of the recent truce. Trump's approval rating has dropped to 34%, with specific concerns raised about his handling of the cost of living and immigration.
