Iran and IAEA fail nuclear talks
Talks between Iran and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear programme have ended with "no progress", the BBC quotes the UN's nuclear watchdog as saying.
It’s reported that Iran’s authorities refused to give the IAEA access to sites inside Iran, including one at Parchin suspected of being used for experiments related to nuclear weapons.
The IAEA's chief inspector Herman Nackaerts called the talks in Vienna "disappointing."
Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Ashghar Soltanieh, said his country would continue to seek to allay fears about the programme.
"We are ready to remove all ambiguities and prove to the world that our activities are exclusively for peaceful purposes and none of these allegations [of developing a bomb] are true," he said, according to the French news agency AFP.
