Iran's official news agency says the visiting head of the UN nuclear agency has made a ceremonial visit to the Parchin military site.
The IRNA news agency quoted Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for Iran's atomic agency, as saying that Yukiya Amano "visited workshops and nearby construction sites in the complex."
The International Atomic Energy Agency has long sought greater access to Parchin, where Iran is alleged to have carried out tests in the past related to the development of nuclear weapons. Iran allowed IAEA inspectors to visit twice in 2005.
Iran denies ever seeking atomic weapons, and says Parchin is a conventional military site.
Amano, the head of the IAEA, arrived today on his second visit to Iran since it reached a landmark nuclear agreement with world powers.
