The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says initial exchanges with Iran over the inspection of its nuclear sites have begun. The statement is being viewed as a significant development following the deal reached with Iran.

According to Nikkei Asia, inspectors' access to nuclear sites in Iran is at the centre of the international agenda after recent tensions. The steps both sides take will offer important clues about how the process will unfold.

Iran had earlier said it was making no new commitments regarding its nuclear facilities. The scope and timeline of any inspection process are being closely watched, given their implications for the diplomatic balance across the region and for confidence in the broader agreement.
