Some progress possible in Iran nuclear talks

this new trip is being seen as a sign that some progress might be possible.

UN nuclear chief to visit Iran for talks BBC News 18 May 12, The head of the UN nuclear watchdog will travel to Iran on Sunday to “discuss issues of mutual interest”. Yukiya Amano of the International Atomic Energy Agency is scheduled to hold meetings with senior officials in Tehran on Monday.

The IAEA would like Iran to allow its inspectors to visit a site at Parchin. The US and its allies accuse Iran of seeking
to develop a nuclear bomb, but Iran insists its nuclear programme is
peaceful.

Mr Amano’s visit follows two days of talks in Vienna over Iran’s
nuclear activities….. this new trip is being seen as a sign that
some progress might be possible.

The talks in Tehran will take place just two days before an
international meeting in Baghdad, which will involve six world powers
and Iran. The UK, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany
are all due to take part in the Baghdad talks…..
