A senior Iranian nuclear official says any visit totheParchin military site near the capital, Tehran, will be carried out only based on a roadmap agreed upon by Tehran and the UN nuclear body aimed at sorting out outstanding issues regarding the Islamic Republics nuclear program.

On July 14, Iran and the IAEA signed a roadmap for the clarification of past and present issues regarding Irans nuclear program in the Austrian city of Vienna.

After signing the agreement, IAEA Director GeneralYukiyaAmano said that the roadmap "sets out a clear sequence of activities over the coming months, including the provision by Iran of explanations regarding outstanding issues. It provides for technical expert meetings, technical measures and discussions, as well as a separate arrangement regarding the issue of Parchin [site]."
