Will Continue Talks On Alleged Weapons Program With International Atomic Energy Agency

(AP) Iran has agreed to cooperate with the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog in its probe of allegations that Tehran tried to develop nuclear weapons, the organization said Wednesday.

International Atomic Energy Agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said in a statement that progress was made in talks Monday and Tuesday between senior Iranian officials and IAEA Deputy Director General Olli Heinonen.

The development appeared to signal some flexibility on the part of Tehran, which up to the last few days dismissed such allegations as U.S.-instigated fabrications.

Any agreement by Iran to at least further discuss the allegations is a positive sign.

Just last Sunday, Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's nuclear program, abruptly canceled a meeting with IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei. The meeting had been considered a test of whether Iran will continue to stonewall the Vienna-based agency in its attempt to investigate the alleged military programs.
