The head of the United Nation's atomic agency is considering visiting Tehran.
Spokeswoman Gill Tudor of the International Atomic Energy Agency said its chief, Yukiya Amano had been invited to visit Iran and this is being considered.
According to Fox News, she was responding to a report by Iran's official IRNA news agency, which quoted the country's nuclear chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, as saying that Amano would arrive November 12.
It also would follow closely on next week's round of talks about Iran's nuclear programme in Geneva between Iran and six world powers, the report said.
