VIENNA, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- The UN nuclear agency Thursday said Tehran has given UN inspectors access to all the nuclear sites they needed to visit to implement the nuclear safeguard regime in the country.

"As of today, the agency has had access to all the locations that we needed to visit," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano said at a board meeting in Vienna.

The IAEA is monitoring Iran's implementation of a historic international deal reached in Vienna in the summer of 2015, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Under the deal, Iran agreed to scale back its nuclear program in return of partial relief from international sanctions.

"The agency continues to verify and monitor Iran's implementation of its nuclear-related commitments under the JCPOA. The nuclear-related commitments undertaken by Iran are being implemented," Amano said.
