IAEA: 'Can't report progress in Iran nuclear talks'

(Reuters) The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, Yukiya Amano, said Monday that he was "unable to report any progress" in the organization's talks with Iran over its atomic program.

The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency has been trying for more than a year to persuade Iran to cooperate with a long-stalled agency investigation into suspected atom bomb research by the Islamic state, which denies any such activity.

Amano said the agency remained committed to engaging in constructive dialogue with Iran, but that negotiations must proceed with "a sense of urgency and a focus on achieving concrete results" soon.
