DHAKA: Iran resumed talks on its nuclear program with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Saturday.

The official IRNA news agency said, in discussions expected to broach sensitive military-related issues, reports The Jerusalem Post.

The UN atomic agency hopes to persuade Iran to finally start addressing long-held suspicions that it may have researched how to build atomic bombs.

Tehran has rejected the accusations of westernization-related work as baseless and said it will cooperate with the IAEA to clear up any ‘ambiguities’.
