Deputy Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) for International Affairs Javad Vaeedi said on Wednesday that Tehran and IAEA are to draw up a Modality Plan to resolve Iran's nuclear standoff within 60 days.
IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of Safeguards Department Olli Heinonen is to visit Tehran on July 11.
Speaking to reporters, he said the Modality Plan which is to be drawn up within sixty days depends on goodwill of the other side, he said.
Since the ideas on suspension of uranium enrichment are outdated, Iran, in recent talks in Madrid, has proposed new ideas for mutual cooperation with IAEA.
"We are not to buy time or kill it because we have already acquired the relative scientific knowledge in the nuclear activities," he said.
He warned that if some people in New York or among the Group 5+1 seek to issue a new resolution against Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, they are adopting an improper, hostile or destructive move to harm pace of cooperation between Iran and IAEA.
Issuance of a new UNSC resolution would harm the trend of talks between Iran and IAEA, he underlined.
To a question posed by IRNA reporter whether there would be any guarantee that the western countries avoid issuing any resolutions on Iran's nuclear activities, he said there is no guarantee to this end.
The EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana has accepted that the current negotiations between Iran and IAEA would continue, he said.
