TEHRAN — The deputy head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog will visit Iran in a bid to restore frayed ties, the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister said Sunday.

There will be no inspection of nuclear facilities during the visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency scheduled for Monday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. The visit would be the first since Israel and Iran’s 12-day war in June, when some of its key nuclear facilities were struck.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on July 3 ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the IAEA after U.S. and Israeli airstrikes hit its most important nuclear facilities. The decision is likely to further limit inspectors’ ability to track Tehran’s program that had been enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels.
