What did Iran's foreign minister propose regarding nuclear inspectors?

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi privately suggested that Iran would be willing to restore access for nuclear inspectors to its facilities in exchange for sanctions relief. This proposal was made during meetings with European and Middle Eastern diplomats at the United Nations.

Why might Iran be making this offer?

The proposal is seen by diplomats as a signal of Iran's economic struggles. Reports indicate the country is facing high inflation and currency depreciation due to sanctions, and the offer could be an attempt to ease this economic pressure and potentially break deadlocked peace talks with the US.

Did the US offer sanctions relief to Iran?

US President Donald Trump has denied reports that the US offered sanctions relief or the release of frozen funds to Iran in return for concessions on its nuclear program. Some reports noted the US naval blockade affecting Iran's oil exports.
