UN nuclear watchdog holds talks in Tehran ahead of May deadline

None

The UN nuclear watchdog said on Monday its chief inspector had held "informal" talks in Tehran, ahead of a mid-May deadline for Iran to answer questions about detonators that could be used to help set off an atomic explosive device.

 

The International Atomic Energy Agency gave no details about the previously unannounced visit of IAEA Deputy Director General Tero Varjoranta to the Iranian capital.

 

He went to Tehran "at the end of last week for informal talks as part of regular contacts between the agency and Iran," IAEA spokesman Serge Gas said. (Reuters)
