International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano spoke Monday at the opening of the organization's 35-nation board meeting.
The IAEA is monitoring Iran's compliance with a nuclear deal with six world powers implemented in December. In its first report last month, it noted that Iran was in or quickly got into line with its obligations.
But with the agreement extending to more than a decade, Amano says Iran "has to implement its commitments ... For many years to come."
