Iran says it will continue to allow the UN nuclear watchdog to inspect its nuclear facilities despite announcing a day earlier it had banned UN inspectors from working in the country.

Iran's media report that Iran will continue to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency within the framework of the nuclear non-proliferation Treaty.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran has barred 38 IAEA inspectors from the country. The move was widely seen as the country's retaliation against UN sanctions.
