If You’ve Had A BlackHorse LoanDPAThe International Nuclear Energy Agency IAEA sees no point in continuing its talks with Iran at this point, after the two sides failed to reach common ground on Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons program.”We will work hard now to try and resolve the remaining differences, but time is needed to reflect on the way forward,” IAEA chief inspector Herman Nackaerts said in Vienna on his return from Iran on Thursday.He said the IAEA team and Iranian officials had failed to agree on conditions under which the IAEA would get access to nuclear officials, documents and sites, including the Parchin military site where nuclear weapons parts were allegedly tested.No date for a new meeting was set.AdvertisementNackaert’s statement contrasted with comments by Iran’s IAEA envoy, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, who said on Wednesday that some disagreements were now settled, and who talked about a new meeting at an unspecified time.The unsuccessful outcome of Wednesday’s talks was less than two weeks before the five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany are scheduled to restart wider-ranging nuclear negotiations with Iran on February 26 in Kazakhstan.Iran should show flexibility in the upcoming negotiations to achieve “substantial progress”, EU chief diplomat Catherine Ashton said on Wednesday at the Security Council.The United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany want Iran to come clean on its nuclear program and to halt uranium enrichment, fearing it might be used to make nuclear weapons.In return, the six-party group that is led by Ashton has offered a limited set of technical co-operation projects.
