Iran and world powers gave themselves an extra week on Tuesday to reach an accord curbing Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, but U.S. President Barack Obama warned there would be no deal if all pathways to an Iranian nuclear weapon were not cut off.
Western countries suspect Iran of seeking the capability to make a nuclear weapon. Tehran says its program is peaceful.
Major sticking points that remain between the two sides include access for U.N. nuclear inspectors to Iranian military sites, the pace and timing of sanctions relief for Iran and IAEA queries about Tehran's past activities that may have been related to atomic weapons research.
Amano will meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and other senior officials, the IAEA said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Discussions are expected to address ongoing cooperation between the IAEA and Iran," the IAEA said, and would cover "how to accelerate the resolution of all outstanding issues related to Iran's nuclear program, including clarification of possible military dimensions (PMD)."
