Iran could do a better job of cooperating with international inspectors who conducted a record number of snap visits last year to its nuclear-related facilities, the United Nations’ atomic watchdog said, as doubts persist about the future of a landmark deal the U.S. has abandoned.

“There’s room to provide us with more proactive and timely cooperation,” Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, said Monday in Vienna. “I am not saying we have any concerns. The agency has conducted complementary accesses to all the sites and locations in Iran which we needed to visit.”
