TEHRAN / VIENNA - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday that the latest talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear program had "reflected a positive trend."

At a weekly press conference in Tehran, Baghaei said the two sides had not yet reached a conclusion on resuming cooperation during the latest round of talks in Vienna on Friday and Saturday, stressing that the Iranian delegation had conveyed its concerns to the UN nuclear watchdog over the safety and security of the country's nuclear facilities.

Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA after Israeli and US attacks on its nuclear facilities and the assassination of its nuclear scientists in June. Tehran has said any IAEA inspections must be approved by its Supreme National Security Council, and that the suspension will remain in place unless the safety of its sites and scientists is guaranteed.

Baghaei said no date had been set for the next round of negotiations, noting that Iranian authorities were reviewing the outcome of the previous talks to decide on the next step.

"We are waiting for the last round of the talks to finalize the text of an agreement between Iran and the agency, which will include the manner of Iran's interaction with the IAEA under the new circumstances," he said.

Restoring the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections in Iran would create "promising ground" for wider progress, said the agency's Director General Rafael Grossi as he addressed the IAEA Board of Governors on Monday.

Grossi said Iran's nuclear program remained at the center of IAEA efforts, adding that he had been "continuously and systematically" reaching out to restore the indispensable cooperation between the IAEA and Iran.

He noted that "progress has been made" during ongoing technical discussions.

The success of the discussions between Iran and the IAEA would underline the importance of "important diplomatic consultations and processes," which are promising and can "advance towards positive outcomes," he said.

"There is still time, not much, but always enough when there is good faith and a clear sense of responsibility," Grossi said.
