Shahram Amiri, who vanished from Saudi Arabia in June 2009, told reporters upon his arrival in Tehran that he was just a "simple researcher".
"I had nothing to with Natanz and Fordo sites," he said referring to Iran's two uranium enrichment sites.
"It was a tool the US government brought up for political pressure. I have done no research on nuclear. I am a simple researcher who works in a university which is open to all and there is no secret work happening there."
