The Islamic Republic of Iran has given samples taken by its own experts from the suspect Parchin military site to UN nuclear monitors whose own scientists were not present, an Iranian official said Monday.

The "environmental sampling from some specific parts within the Parchin complex" was conducted in the past week, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi told state media.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano left Tehran for Vienna Monday morning.

He arrived in Tehran on Sunday for a single-day visit to hold talks with the Iranian officials on the Joit Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and six world powers.

He met with President Sheikh Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Chairman of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi and members of the parliament’s special committee on the JCPOA.
