# Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian says discussion over his country’s missiles does not exist in the memorandum of understanding signed with the US, and it never will. This is despite president Donald Trump’s claims that Tehran agreed to nuclear inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The agency has been in and out of Iran since Israel’s 12-day war in 2025, but has not been granted access to bombed enrichment sites targeted by the US. Pezeshkian maintains that Tehran’s missile programme is essential to national defence.
