TEHRAN -- Iran has handed over documents related to outstanding issues to the UN nuclear agency, Iranian nuclear chief Muhammad Eslami said on Wednesday, as Tehran demands closure of the agency’s investigation into uranium particles allegedly found at three sites.

Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month agreed a three-month plan to try to resolve a long-stalled issue over uranium particles found at old sites in the country. Resolving the issue would remove an obstacle to the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.

“We have handed over the documents on March 20 to the agency. They are reviewing those documents and probably the agency’s representatives will travel to Iran for further talks and then the IAEA will present its conclusion,” Eslami told a televised news conference.

In early March, Iran and the agency announced a plan for a series of exchanges.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said last month he will aim to report his conclusion by the June 2022 (IAEA) Board of Governors’ meeting, which begins on June 6.

The joint plan will help to secure the revival of the deal, which Washington exited in 2018 and reimposed inhuman sanctions on Iran.

Eleven months of talks in Vienna on salvaging the 2015 deal have stalled as Iran says political decisions are required by Washington to settle the remaining issues.
