July 11 to 13, and examine a work scheme to respond to all
remaining issues over Iran's nuclear program," Ali Asghar

The IAEA delegation would not inspect Iran's nuclear facilities
during their trip since they are not inspectors, he added.

IAEA to send a team to Tehran to find out a plan to resolve the
outstanding issues of Tehran's nuclear program".
At the meeting on June 23, Larijani and IAEA chief Mohammad El
