In a statement, Amano said he understood Iran was working 'at high speed' to implement restrictions on its nuclear activities, as agreed.
“The JCPOA will see sanctions lifted over a series of years in exchange for Iran curbing its nuclear programme.”
He added that it would take some weeks to verify those steps.
Iran's envoy to the agency, Reza Najafi, said Iran hoped to have the necessary curbs in place 'within two to three weeks, to accelerate the implementation day as soon as possible'.
