Hamid Baeedinejad, who is also the director general for political and international affairs at Irans Foreign Ministry, made the remark in an exclusive interview with Press TV in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on Friday.
He did not provide specifics.
Baeedinejad, who has been in Vienna for talks with the P5+1, is now heading to the Swiss city of Geneva to join Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other members of the Iranian nuclear negotiating team for the continuation of the talks there.
During the Press TV interview, he also said that the idea of foreign access to the countrys military sites has never been on the agenda of negotiations between the Islamic Republic and six world powers over Irans civilian atomic activities.
In fact, inspection of military installations has never been on agenda in our negotiations. As we have made it very clear, we never accepted that there could be inspections from the military sites in our country, he said.
But, there are very clear rules and regulations which are defined within the Additional Protocol, which define in concrete terms what are the regulations and conditions that such an access could be requested by the [International Atomic Energy] Agency and what are the rights of the state parties in response to these concerns, he added.
The senior Iranian official said that Tehran and its negotiating partners are not contemplating an extension of Irans nuclear talks beyond the June 30 deadline.

We have fully informed the opposite [negotiating] side that this (the issue of inspections and interviews) will never be on the agenda of the negotiations, he said.
On May 20, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Iran will not allow any inspections by foreign countries of its military sites. He also stressed that foreigners will not be permitted to interview Iranian scientists in the nuclear domain and other sensitive majors.
Araqchi said the Leaders remarks are a decisive and serious guideline for the Iranian negotiating team.
Iran and P5+1 have been negotiating to reach a comprehensive deal over the Islamic Republics peaceful nuclear program. In recent rounds of the talks, the two sides have been working on the text of the possible deal.
