VIENNA (AP) — Tehran and the United Nations’ nuclear agency say that Iran has agreed to supply answers long sought by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog as talks in Vienna over its tattered atomic deal with world powers appear to be coming to an end. A joint statement by Mohammad Eslami, the head of the civilian Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, and Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy, came hours after the two met in Tehran. It envisions the IAEA reaching conclusions on the discovery of uranium particles at former undeclared sites in the country by June. The move is separate from the talks over the nuclear deal but could help push them to a conclusion.
