Efforts to reach a nuclear accord with Iran gathered pace as the head of the United Nations’ atomic energy agency tried to sweep away hurdles in Tehran and foreign ministers from world powers joined negotiations in Vienna.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, traveled to Iran to try to win consent for probes that would clarify whether the country’s nuclear past had a military dimension. He met with Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, who helps to oversee the military, and is to sit down with President Hassan Rouhani later Thursday.
