A good opportunity has come about to address claims that were made in the past in a new, calm atmosphere, he said, IRNA news agency reported July 3.
He added Tehran is ready to cooperate with the IAEA to abolish accusations and prove that Iran has a blank record.
Araqchi's remarks followed IAEA Secretary General Yukiya Amano's trip to Tehran on July 2.
