'Iran misses' nuclear probe deadline | 'Iran misses' nuclear probe deadline |
(35 minutes later) | |
Iran has missed a deadline to answer questions about its nuclear programme, the global nuclear watchdog IAEA says. | |
Iran had agreed to provide information to help allay concerns about a military dimension to its programme, but had failed to do so, the IAEA reported. | |
These include suspected work on detonators which can set off nuclear bombs and high explosive charges. | |
It comes weeks before a deadline for Iran and world powers to reach a final deal to resolve the nuclear issue. | |
The US, EU and other powers suspect Iran is secretly seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has strongly denied the charge, insisting its programme is purely for peaceful purposes. |
