Tehran: The UN atomic watchdog's top investigator ended two days of talks with Iranian officials on Tuesday that sought explanations of Western intelligence that suggested Iran secretly studied how to design nuclear bombs.
But Iran's ISNA news agency did not give details about any results from the meetings in Tehran between Olli Heinonen of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Iranians.
Iranian officials had said Heinonen's visit was intended to advance cooperation between Iran and the IAEA.
US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown last week vowed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, possibly by expanding sanctions.
The UN Security Council has imposed three sets of limited sanctions on Iran since 2006 because of its inadequate cooperation with IAEA investigations.
"The second day of talks with Heinonen and Iranian officials finished after five hours without any results being announced," ISNA reported without giving a source.
Heinonen raised a diplomatic stir in February with a presentation that indicated links in Iran between projects to process uranium, test explosives and modify a missile cone in a way suitable for a nuclear warhead.
