Iranian and International Atomic Energy Agency officials will hold a meeting in Tehran from February 20 to 21, the IAEA said in a press release on February 7.

“An IAEA statement on 1 February 2012 stated that Agency officials would hold a further meeting with Iran in Tehran on 21-22 February 2012. Unfortunately these dates were incorrect; the meetings are in fact scheduled for 20-21 February 2012,” the statement read.

The corrected statement follows:

Meetings between the IAEA and Iran were held in Tehran from 29-31 January 2012, aimed at resolving all outstanding substantive issues. Another meeting will take place in Tehran from 20-21 February 2012.

The IAEA explained its concerns and identified its priorities, which focus on the clarification of possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear program.

The IAEA also discussed with Iran the topics and initial steps to be taken, as well as associated modalities.

“The Agency is committed to intensifying dialogue. It remains essential to make progress on substantive issues,” IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said.
