Date set for next round of Iran-IAEA talks
The next nuclear talks between Iran and the representatives of IAEA will be held on May 21, Mehr news agency reported.
Iran and the IAEA last met in Tehran in mid-February. After the
negotiations, Iran's representative to IAEA, ambassador Ali Asghar
Soltanieh said both sides reached agreements on "some points",
however the IAEA inspectors were not granted access to visit the
Parchin military complex.
The IAEA, whose mission is to prevent the spread of nuclear
weapons, has been trying to negotiate a so-called structured
approach with Iran giving the inspectors access to sites, officials
and documents for their long-stalled inquiry.
World powers are monitoring the IAEA-Iran talks for any signs as to
whether Tehran, facing intensifying sanctions pressure, may be
prepared to finally start tackling mounting international concerns
about its nuclear activity.
The U.S. and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing a
nuclear weapon - something that Iran denies.
Iran has repeatedly stated that it does not seek to develop nuclear
weapons, using nuclear energy for medical researches instead.
