The European Union and U.S. said they’re deeply concerned about Iran’s failure to clarify the source of nuclear material found at several undeclared facilities, and urged Tehran to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The rebuke could shadow a sixth round of talks aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal that limited Iran’s atomic activity due to start soon in Vienna. The EU statement on its website expressed “deep regret” that Iran hasn’t provided the IAEA with an explanation for atomic activity at undeclared locations.
