Speaking during the second part of a televised interview broadcast by Iranian state television on Wednesday, Ghalibaf said decisions on access to nuclear facilities rested with Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

"Under no circumstances will access be granted on sites [Nuclear] that have been bombed and damaged," he said, adding: "The Supreme National Security Council is the body authorised to determine access."

According to Ghalibaf, international inspectors currently have access to only two nuclear facilities: Bushehr and the Tehran research reactor.

His remarks came after US Vice President JD Vance announced following talks with Iranian officials in Switzerland that both countries had agreed to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit Iranian sites.

Last week, US President Donald Trump also said IAEA inspectors would enter Iran "at the appropriate time."

Iran's position followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington last month aimed at ending the war . The agreement was followed by the first round of negotiations toward a final deal.
