Iran denies opening IAEA office in Tehran

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has dismissed reports that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) intended to set up a temporary office in Tehran, Press TV reported on Sunday. "So far, no such a thing has been brought up in the talks ( between Iran and the IAEA)," AEOI spokesman, Behrouz Kamalvandi, was quoted as saying on Sunday. The UN nuclear agency has never requested to open an office in Iran, Kamalvandi said. Earlier on Sunday, some Western media outlets reported that the IAEA was considering a Tehran office to verify effective implementation of an nuclear deal reached between Iran and some world powers in November.
