Under the law suspending cooperation, inspectors may access Iranian nuclear sites only with the approval of the country’s top security body, the Supreme National Security Council.
Tehran has repeatedly said that future cooperation with the agency will take "a new form.”
The spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Behrouz Kamalvandi, also said the IAEA inspectors would oversee the replacement of fuel at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southwestern Iran.
Kamalvandi made no mention of whether inspectors would be allowed access to other sites, including Fordow and Natanz, which were hit during the war.
In an interview with Fox News, Grossi said the agency and Iran were still discussing what kind of "practical modalities can be implemented in order to facilitate the restart of our work there.”
The return of inspectors came after Iranian diplomats held talks with counterparts from Britain, France and Germany in Geneva on Tuesday.
The talks – the second round since the Israeli attacks – included discussion of European threats to trigger the reimposition of UN sanctions against Iran before they are permanently lifted in mid-October.
