THE UN atomic agency says it will hold a new round of talks with Iran on May 15 in Vienna on suspected nuclear bomb-making efforts by Tehran.
"The Agency and Iran have agreed to hold further talks in Vienna on 15 May," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) spokeswoman Gill Tudor said.
The meeting is "aimed at finalising a structured approach to resolving outstanding issues related to the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program," she said.
Iran has consistently rejected as unfounded what the IAEA calls "overall, credible" evidence that until 2003 and possibly since, it conducted nuclear weapons research.
Iran denies wanting or ever having sought the bomb, and accuses the IAEA of basing its conclusions on faulty intelligence from foreign spy agencies -- intelligence it complains it has not been allowed to see.
Nine rounds of talks since the publication of a major IAEA report in November 2011 on these alleged activities, have produced no breakthrough. The last was held in February.
Parallel diplomatic efforts between Iran and six major powers -- the US, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany, known collectively as the P5+1 -- are focused more on Iran's current activities.
The latest round with the P5+1 in Kazakhstan in early April ended with chief negotiator and EU foreign policy head Catherine Ashton saying the two sides remained "far apart".
The meeting between Iran and the IAEA comes ahead of the release in late May of the agency's latest quarterly report, which is expected to show that Tehran has continued to expand its nuclear program.
