Iran has agreed to let the U.N.'satomic watchdog service monitoring cameras at Iranian nuclear sites,both sides said, after talks held on Sunday to try to ease a standoff between Tehran and the West, APA reports quoting Reuters.

The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency had accused Iran last week of stonewalling an investigation into past activities and jeopardising monitoring work, possibly complicating efforts to resume negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal.,

The IAEA had said there had been no progress getting urgent access to monitoring equipment needed to let the agency continue to keep track of parts of Iran's nuclear programmes as per the 2015 deal.

Iran announced the agreement about the cameras after IAEA head Rafael Grossi met Mohammad Eslami, who heads the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), in Tehran.
