Agency (IAEA) once the agency closes its investigation into whether Iran has a nuclear weapons program.
Analysts said the proposal was a “non-offer” that would never have a chance of being accepted by the IAEA.
Salehi traveled to Vienna Tuesday and had a face-to-face meeting with IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano.
Afterward, Salehi said Iran would work with the IAEA “closer than ever before” if the weapons probe is first closed.
But analysts pointed out that the closer cooperation the IAEA has been seeking is to answer questions about any Iranian weapons work.
“The offer to work closer with the IAEA if the IAEA cancels the work for which it is seeking closer cooperation is a non-offer,” one analyst said.
