EU "deeply regrets" Iran's failure to address IAEA's nuclear concerns
VIENNA - The European Union said on Thursday it deeply regretted Iran's failure to address UN nuclear agency concerns about its suspected atomic bomb research.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran had yet to provide explanations needed for its investigation, four days before a deadline for a comprehensive deal between Iran and six world powers to end the 12-year-old dispute.
And the 28-nation EU said in a statement at a meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors, "The EU deeply regrets the lack of progress on PMD (possible military dimensions) issues.
"The EU underlines that resolving all outstanding issues will be essential to achieve a comprehensive, negotiated long-term settlement, which is the EU's objective," it said.
