Some have termed closed-door meeting of UN atomic watchdog experts to be official while others have termed it to be unofficial. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team visited Tehran, so that they can strike a deal with Tehran on an controversial atomic programme.

Herman Nackaerts from the International Atomic Energy Agency said, "We have agreed to meet again on 16 January next year, where we expect to finalise the structured approach and start implementing it then shortly after that".

He was present at Vienna airport and said that their meeting went well. However, both the parties have been expecting to work with each for a long time. The news of the meeting was not provided by the Iranian media, as they remained quiet about the meeting.

The meeting was organized so that some issues can be resolved. Moreover, the IAEA wanted an access to nuclear sites of Iran and talked about the same in the meeting as well. It has also been said that the IAEA said they also wanted to inspect Parchin, which is said to be close guarded military complex present near Tehran. Nackaerts said that if they are given chance, they would surely like to visit Parchin.
