four days before nuclear talks between Iran and the EU begin, the UN’s nuclear agency chief, Yukiya Amano, has complained about a lack of co-operation from Tehran.
At the start of a 35-nation meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, he said that because of this, he could not confirm that all of Iran’s uranium enrichment activities are peaceful.
Iran is already subject to UN sanctions because of their refusal to suspend their nuclear development programme. But the country has repeatedly insisted that its enrichment activities are legitimate and that it only aims to build nuclear fuel statons to provide domestic power.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is due to meet with Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili on December 6th and 7th. Analysts are not expecting any immediate breakthrough but there are hopes that resumed talks could eventually lead to a resolution of the long-standing row
