Iran 'misses' nuclear probe deadline
TEHRAN. KAZINFORM - Iran has missed a deadline to answer questions about its nuclear programme, the IAEA global nuclear watchdog says.
Iran had agreed to provide information to help allay concerns about a military dimension to its programme, but had failed to do so, the IAEA reported.
These include suspected work on detonators which can set off nuclear bombs and high explosive charges.
It comes weeks before a deadline for Iran and world powers to reach a final deal to resolve the nuclear issue.
The US, EU and other powers suspect Iran is secretly seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has strongly denied the charge, insisting its programme is purely for peaceful purposes, BBC informs.
Since the election of President Hassan Rouhani last year, Iran has promised to further co-operate with the IAEA.
