Iran says UN nuclear officials coming to Tehran

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's official news agency is reporting a delegation from the United Nations nuclear watchdog will visit the country next week for more talks on Tehran's nuclear program.

The Friday report by IRNA quotes Reza Najafi, Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, in Vienna. He says that the IAEA's Tero Tapio Varjoranta, the agency's deputy director-general and head of the department of safeguards, will head the delegation.
