JAKARTA - A senior official from the UN nuclear watchdog agency (IAEA) will fly to Iran to negotiate on Monday, but there are no plans to visit the nuclear site, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas AragCHI said on Sunday.

"Negotiation with the IAEA will be held tomorrow to determine the framework of cooperation," Foreign Minister Araghchi said on his Telegram account.

"Deputy Director General Grossi will come to Tehran tomorrow, while there are no plans to visit any nuclear sites until we reach the framework," he added.

Since Israel launched its first military offensive against Iran's nuclear site during the 12-day war in June, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have not been able to access Iranian facilities, although IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said inspections remain its top priority.

Iran accused the agency of effectively paving the way for bombing by issuing a burdensome report on May 31, causing the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors to state Iran violated its non-proliferation obligations.

Iran, which denies it is seeking nuclear weapons, said it remains committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Last month, Tehran passed parliament-approved laws to suspend cooperation with the IAEA. The law stipulates that any future inspection of Iran's nuclear site by the IAEA requires Tehran's Highest National Security Council approval.
