International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano confirmed that Iran had submitted environmental samples from Parchin, a military base outside of Tehran that is a suspected site of nuclear weapons experimentation.  The samples were collected by Iranians under IAEA monitoring by video and still cameras and GPS tracking.  After the samples were taken, IAEA officials visited the Parchin site on September 20 and noted indications of recent renovation work.
