이란, 유엔 핵 검사단 재입국 허용...미국과의 협상 진전
Iran will let UN nuke inspectors back in, could buy US crops with billions in unfrozen assets: Vance - New York Post
이란이 유엔 핵 검사단을 다시 입국시키기로 합의했지만, 미국이 2025년 6월에 폭파한 3개의 핵 시설에 대한 접근은 여전히 거부하고 있습니다. 이는 시장 입장에서는 엇갈린 신호로 작용할 수 있습니다.
핵심 요약
이란이 스위스 협상을 통해 유엔 핵 검사단 재입국을 허용했지만, 2025년 미국이 폭격한 3개 시설에 대한 접근은 여전히 거부 중입니다.
핵심요약
- 2025년 6월 미국이 폭격한 3개의 핵 시설에 약 1,000파운드의 고농축 우라늄이 매장되어 있다고 추정됨
- 이란, 스위스 협상 끝에 유엔 핵 검사단 재입국 허용 합의
- 바인스 부통령, 이란 협상을 '매우 혼란스럽다'고 표현하며 협상의 복잡성 강조
- 이란 외무부 대변인, 기존 프레임워크 내에서 IAEA와의 협력을 계속할 것 표명
도입
이번 이란과 유엔 핵 검사단의 재입국 합의는 국제 사회에 미치는 영향이 크다고 할 수 있습니다. 특히, 이란의 핵 프로그램에 대한 투명성 향상을 기대할 수 있는 계기가 되었기 때문입니다. 또한, 이 합의가 향후 미국의 이란 정책에 어떤 영향을 미칠지 주목됩니다.
본문 1: 핵 검사단 재입국의 의미
이란이 유엔 핵 검사단을 재입국하도록 허용하기로 한 것은 핵 프로그램의 투명성 향상을 위한 첫걸음이라고 할 수 있습니다. 특히, 2025년 6월 미국이 폭격한 3개의 핵 시설에 대한 접근을 거부하고 있는 점은 여전히 큰 이슈로 남아 있습니다. 이 시설에 매장되어 있다고 추정되는 약 1,000파운드의 고농축 우라늄은 국제 사회의 우려를 불러일으키고 있습니다. 이란의 이번 결정이 실제적으로 핵 프로그램의 투명성을 높일 수 있을지, 또는 여전히 일부 시설에 대한 접근을 거부할 가능성이 있는지 주목됩니다.
본문 2: 협상의 복잡성과 향후 전망
바인스 부통령이 이란 협상을 '매우 혼란스럽다'고 표현한 점은 협상의 복잡성을 보여줍니다. 특히, 이란의 외무부 대변인이 기존 프레임워크 내에서 IAEA와의 협력을 계속할 것이라고 밝힌 점은 협상의 방향성을 가늠하기 어렵게 하고 있습니다. 이란의 혼합적인 메시지는 협상의 성공 가능성을 불확실하게 만들고 있습니다. 향후 이란이 실제적으로 핵 검사단을 수용할지, 또는 여전히 일부 시설에 대한 접근을 거부할지는 협상의 핵심 변수가 될 것입니다.
결론
이번 이란과 유엔 핵 검사단의 재입국 합의는 핵 프로그램의 투명성 향상을 위한 첫걸음으로 평가될 수 있습니다. 그러나, 여전히 이란의 혼합적인 메시지와 협상의 복잡성은 향후 전망을 불확실하게 하고 있습니다. 특히, 2025년 6월 미국이 폭격한 3개의 핵 시설에 대한 접근 문제가 해결되지 않는 한, 국제 사회의 우려는 지속될 전망입니다. 향후 이란의 핵 프로그램에 대한 투명성 향상을 위한 추가적인 조치들이 필요할 것으로 보입니다.

Iran will let UN nuke inspectors back in, could buy US crops with billions in unfrozen assets: Vance - New York Post

Iran will allow United Nations nuclear inspectors into the country following two days of talks in Switzerland, Vice President JD Vance announced Monday — despite Iran putting out mixed messaging.
“The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country,” Vance told reporters in Lucerne before returning to Washington. “That is a major milestone for the American people and the first step in permanently denuclearizing, or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran, and that’s exactly what we want to do. That’s exactly what we asked to happen.”
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have entered Iran since last year’s 12-day war between Israel and the Islamic Republic.
However, Iran has refused access to three nuclear facilities bombed by the US on June 21, 2025, where nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium is believed to be buried.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei indicated Monday that the status quo would not change, telling state-run IRNA that “Iran’s interactions with the agency, in line with its obligations under safeguard agreements, will continue according to the existing framework.”
The semi-official Tasnim News Agency added: “The issue of granting permission for IAEA inspectors to enter Iran was not approved by the Iranian negotiating team or by responsible government officials.”
“We laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal,” Vance insisted .
“The final deal is the house. We set the foundation, we haven’t built the house, but we’ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people.”
Vance acknowledged that working with the Iranians can be “extremely confusing,” addressing reporters as he boarded Air Force 2 to return to Washington.
“I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with the Iranians over the last few months. Sometimes I find them extremely confusing as negotiators,” he said, adding that he still felt “like we’re making progress.”
President Trump appeared to respond to Iran’s public protestations to the inspections, posting to Truth Social that “everybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have Major Weapons Inspections in order to ensure ‘Nuclear Honesty’ long into the future.”
The vice president also claimed Iran and the US had established “mechanisms” to resolve disputes over the Strait of Hormuz as well as the latest cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon — which appeared to be holding as of Monday morning.
Vance did not elaborate on what those “mechanisms” were beyond “actually talking to each other and figuring out how to stop the shooting.” However, a joint statement by mediators from Pakistan and Qatar said a “de-confliction cell” involving the US, Iran, and Lebanon — but apparently not Israel or Hezbollah — would be created to “ensure the adherence of the termination of military operations in Lebanon.”
The vice president further stated that any Iranian assets that are unfrozen as the result of a final peace deal could be used to purchase American soy, corn and wheat “for the benefit of the Iranian people.”
Vance credited President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner with coming up with the idea alongside the Qataris, calling it “a classic Trump deal, where if Iranian assets are ever unfrozen, they’re going to go to make American farmers richer and to feed the Iranian people.
“That’s a very, very good and very classic Trump deal that’s great for our people, great for the people of Iran, and fundamentally, again, will contribute to this regional security architecture that we’ve built, and that we’re going to work very hard to ensure that it endures,” he added.
Iranian sources pushed back on the assertion, calling it “Western propaganda.”
“Iran is not planning to purchase US agricultural goods, and there were no discussions yesterday regarding IAEA inspectors coming to Iran,” Mohammad Marandi, an Iranian professor closely linked to the regime, posted to X.
Vance did not mention concrete agreements reached on the nuclear issue — Trump’s north star for the talks. While the MOU committed the US and Iran to discussing the degradation of enriched uranium on Iranian soil, no breakthrough on the topic was announced in the readouts of the talks.
Also not in the US-Iran agreement: restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile, which threaten not just Israel but also Gulf allies in the region.
Vance’s comments Monday followed a series of blistering statements from Trump Sunday, including a threat to seize the Strait of Hormuz and “blow the s–t out of” Iran .
The VP confirmed Monday that the comments by the president had caused the Iranians to “threaten to walk out, or at least there were social media threats that they would walk out, but we were negotiating well past 1 in the morning yesterday, so they didn’t walk out, and their technical team is still here.”
Vance ultimately shrugged off the comments, telling reporters: “What we told the Iranians yesterday is, ‘When you guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk, you can’t expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record,’ so when they say things that aren’t true, the president is going to respond to it, I’m going to respond to it, Americans are going to respond to it.
“When they make threats that aren’t rooted in reality, they have to accept that the president of the United States is actually going to set the record straight. That’s all that happened. So, yes, there was a little bit of threatening, there was a little bit of whining, but at the end of the day, the talks continued, and we made great progress.”
