An IAEA report on Iran's uranium stockpile increase prompted the White House on Saturday to urge its acceptance of a proposal for a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal.

Iran criticized a new report by the UN nuclear watchdog accusing it of nuclear violations, claiming the agency is motivated by politics and reiterating it isn’t seeking atomic weapons.

Iran's foreign ministry and the Iranian nuclear agency rejected the report, calling it "politically motivated" in a joint statement.

A new Austrian intelligence reports says Iran is continuing with its nuclear program as the U.S. and Iran hold indirect talks over dismantling Tehran’s atomic weapons program.

Saudi Arabia's defence minister delivered a blunt message to Iranian officials in Tehran last month: take President Donald Trump's offer to negotiate a nuclear agreement seriously because it presents a way to avoid the risk of war with Israel.

The head of the United Nations’ atomic watchdog said Wednesday that “the jury is still out” on negotiations between Iran and the U.S. over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, but described the continuing negotiations as a good sign.
