Tehran says no agreement reached with IAEA
Iran has rejected reports about an agreement reached by Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for a new round of talks, Press TV reported with the reference to an official source close to the Iranian negotiating team.
The source said that no agreement had been reached between Iran and the UN nuclear agency over the date of a new round of talks.
The official further pointed out that the issue had been discussed in a meeting but no deal was reached.
On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that Iran and the
IAEA had agreed to hold new talks in mid-May.
Iran and the IAEA last met in Tehran in mid-February and
mid-January.
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies have repeatedly
accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear
energy program, an allegation Iran strongly rejects.
Tehran maintains that as a committed signatory to the
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the IAEA, it is
entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful
purposes.
