Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said no decision has been made about whether to extend an agreement with the UN atomic watchdog over access to surveillance footage at its nuclear site, during a press conference on Monday.

"No negative or positive decisions have been made regarding the cameras and the previous agreement with the Agency [International Atomic Energy Agency], whether to continue or not. This means that no decision has been made to keep or delete the videos and we are in the previous position for the time being," stated Khatibzadeh in Tehran.

Khatibzadeh's remarks come after the end of a one-month extension to the three-month deal between Iran and the IAEA, to preserve video footage at the country's nuclear installations.

Iran promised to save video data for later access, in an effort to limit diplomatic tensions during negotiations to resurrect the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna.

Khatibzadeh added: "What these cameras record and their information will not be provided to the agency. Three months are over. An internal decision was made within the Islamic Republic of Iran within the framework of a binding law of the parliament not to delete this data. However, no extra-safeguarding access has been granted to the agency [IAEA]."

The foreign minister also repeated that the arrival of President-elect Ebrahim Raisi's new administration would not affect JCPOA negotiations.

"It basically does not matter at what point in time or in which government the agreement is reached," he said, adding: "Everyone knows that the decision on this issue is not up to this government or the next government," and instead rests with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
