JAKARTA - The UN nuclear watchdog will visit Tehran in the coming days, Iran's nuclear chief said on Wednesday.
Iran's Head of Atomic Energy Organization Mohammed Eslami said he hoped the IAEA visit "could help resolve the problem" with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he said in comments broadcast by state TV.
Iran and the IAEA have clashed, as Tehran continues to push for its nuclear activity that violates its commitments under the failed 2015 Nuclear Deal four years ago.
Tehran last month approved an IAEA visit, as the agency sought answers to the presence of highly enriched uranium in three undeclared locations.
A few days later, supervisors urged Iran to immediately provide answers to its nuclear activities.
"Iran now has to provide the necessary cooperation, there are no more empty promises," said Laura Holgate, an IAEA representative.
It is known that the 2015 Nuclear Deal aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions failed after Donald Trump brought the United States out of the 2018 deal.
Washington later re-imposed sanctions on Iran, which Tehran retaliated with continuing uranium enrichment beyond the previously agreed rate. Meanwhile, the European Union is trying to maintain the deal.
Experts say Iran has enough uranium enriched with 60 percent purity to build a single nuclear device. 90 percent enrichment is usually required for a bomb, but experts at the US Institute of International Science and Security say it is possible to make devices at a rate lower than 60 percent.
