Local Editor

The three-day negotiations between Iran and a delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ended in Tehran Tuesday.
 
As the two sides agreed on more talks, media reports said that "talks were held in a positive and constructive atmosphere."

Returning back from Tehran, the chief UN nuclear inspector Herman Nackaerts said Wednesday that there was "still a lot of work to do with Iran."

"We had three days of intensive discussions about all our priorities. We are committed to resolving all the outstanding issues and the Iranians said they are committed too," The IAEA official told reporters at Vienna airport.

He further said that "of course there is still a lot of work to be done, and so we have planned another trip in the very near future."

"We had a good trip ... I will now go back to headquarters and inform the DG [International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano] about the mission," he added.

Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA Ali Asqar Soltaniyeh said on Friday that the main objective is to "thwart plots by enemies who are leveling unfounded allegations against Iran and to prove that the country's nuclear program is transparent."
