Iran sticking to nuclear commitments, says UN

The UN nuclear agency International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday said the nuclear-related commitments of Tehran are being implemented, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano told a press meeting that he is not in a position to judge if Iran is incompliance with the Iranian nuclear deal.

The IAEA is monitoring Iran's implementation of a historic international deal reached in Vienna in the summer of 2015, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Under the deal, Iran agreed to scale back its nuclear programme in return for partial relief from international sanctions.

"As of today, the agency has had access to all the locations that we needed to visit," Amano told a board meeting in Vienna earlier.

"IAEA continues to verify and monitor Iran's implementation of its nuclear-related commitments under the joint comprehensive plan of action," he added.
