Tehran: Iran is resuming talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about its nuclear program, the foreign ministry said on Sunday.

An IAEA delegation was in Tehran twice last month to discuss the country's alleged secret weapons studies and next week's visit is expected to focus on the same issue.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Tehran has not yet received a new offer by the UN Security Council on a new incentive for stopping nuclear work

Hosseini stressed that Iran would not accept any conditions by the West, but insist on its "irrevocable right" to continue civil nuclear projects, including uranium enrichment.
