Iran provided the UN nuclear watchdog with documents related to outstanding issues, Iranian nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said Wednesday, as Tehran demanded the agency close its investigation into uranium particles found at three undeclared sites.

In March, Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency agreed on a three-month plan to attempt to resolve the long-stalled issue, an obstacle to the revival of a 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamist Republic and world powers.
"We have handed over the documents on March 20 to the agency. They are reviewing those documents and probably the agency's representatives will travel to Iran for further talks and then the IAEA will present its conclusion," Eslami told a televised news conference.
The IAEA has long said Iran had not given satisfactory answers on those issues, but in early March the agency announced a plan for a series of exchanges.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said last month he would aim to report his conclusion by the June 6 Board of Governors' meeting.
The joint plan will help secure the nuclear deal, which Washington withdrew from in 2018 and reimposed crippling sanctions on Iran.
Eleven months of indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Vienna on salvaging the agreement have stalled as both sides say political decisions are required to settle the remaining issues.
