Atlanta, United States (CNN) -- The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, said Wednesday that cameras installed at Iran's nuclear sites as part of the 2015 nuclear deal have been disabled; Due to the failure of other parties to fulfill their obligations, the official Iranian news agency (IRNA) reported.

Eslami added that, “In addition to the obligations that Iran has to fulfill under the safeguards agreement, which must be transparent, a number of cameras have been installed as part of the JCPOA. However, the other parties have not fulfilled their obligations, so there is no longer a need to keep on the cameras.

Islami's comments came after his meeting with the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, where he presented a report on a recent visit by the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, to Tehran.

Eslami said a number of cameras were damaged in the wake of recent "terrorist operations", which led to two "extremely strict and destructive" reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency. To clarify any ambiguities, a meeting was held with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

He expressed his confidence that as a result of the meeting, "no ambiguity will remain regarding the country's peaceful nuclear program and Iran will not continue to fulfill the commitments of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which should not continue under a law approved by Parliament."

Grossi and Eslami announced during a joint statement after Sunday's meeting that Iran would allow the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to maintain nuclear monitoring equipment in the country.

"We agreed that the technical team would come to Iran to replace the memory cards of the surveillance cameras and take the necessary measures for the cameras," Eslami said during the press conference, Sunday.
