UN presses Iran on nuclear site
The UN's nuclear watchdog says it needs "more clarification" about the purpose of a recently declared Iranian nuclear site near the city of Qom.
The International Atomic Energy Agency also said in a new report the delayed declaration of the plant raised concern about other possible secret sites.
A UN team was allowed access to inspect the Qom site last month.
Some Western nations fear Tehran is trying to build nuclear weapons but Iran says its programme is peaceful.
Chief Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh told Iranian media that Tehran had "provided all the information about the new facility" and called the IAEA report "repetitive".
Earlier, Russia said a nuclear power station it had been building at Bushehr in southern Iran would not be completed by the end of this year as planned.
