Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have started a fresh round of negotiations in the Austrian capital, Vienna.\n<\/p>\n
Iran’s Ambassador to the IAEA Ali Asghar Soltanieh and the agency\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Deputy Director General and Head of the Safeguards Department Herman Nackaerts opened the talks on Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n
The ongoing talks are the 10th round of the negotiations between Iran and the IAEA over the Islamic Republic\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s nuclear energy program since early 2012.\n<\/p>\n
In an interview with Press TV on Monday, Soltanieh said he expected progress to be made in this round of the talks.\n<\/p>\n
The previous round of the negotiations was held in mid-February in Iran\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s capital, Tehran.\n<\/p>\n
The United States, the Israeli regime and some of their allies have falsely accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.\n<\/p>\n
Iran has strongly rejected the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.\n<\/p>\n
In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s nuclear facilities, but has never found any evidence showing that Tehran\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s nuclear energy program has been diverted toward non-civilian objectives.\n<\/p>\n
