He noted that US officials have not yet sent a formal request to visit Iran for negotiations on the issue, adding that the initiative could be discussed during President Hassan Rouhani's visit to the United States in September to participate in the UN General Assembly.

In mid-July, Iran and six international negotiators signed a historic agreement to ensure the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for the relief of sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and the United Nations.

The deal is yet to be reviewed by the US Congress pending a September vote on the nuclear agreement.
