The IAEA said it suspected Iran may have also held explosives tests relevant to nuclear weapons.

The step will concern world powers ahead of a resumption of talks with Tehran next week, analysts say.

Tehran has denied the accusation, and says it is refining uranium only for peaceful energy purposes.
