Iran and the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) began a meeting in Vienna, Austria.

The two-day meeting is to be held between Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, and chief inspector Hermann Nackaerts.
"We are here to continue our dialogue with Iran in a positive spirit," Nackaerts told reporters as he went into the talks at Iran's Vienna embassy.

He also clarified that "the aim of our two days is to reach an agreement on an approach to resolve all outstanding issues with Iran. In particular the clarification of the possible military dimension remains our priority."
Iran and the P5+1 -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany -- held their first talks in 15 months in Istanbul in April, and agreed to more in-depth discussions in Baghdad on May 23.

The talks in Vienna could give early clues on whether the good atmosphere seen in Turkey will continue in Iraq.
Tehran says it wants international acceptance of its right to peaceful nuclear activities, for sanctions to be lifted and for the threat of US and "Israeli" military action to disappear.
