VIENNA, Feb 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The UN nuclear watchdog on Friday confirmed technical discussions on Iran's nuclear programme would take place next week, according to a confidential report seen by AFP Friday. "Technical discussions will take place in Vienna in the week beginning 2 March 2026," the IAEA confirmed. Considerable uncertainty surrounds the fate of Iran's stockpile of more than 400 kilos of 60-percent enriched uranium that was last seen by nuclear watchdog inspectors last June 10. Israel launched strikes on Iran last June, beginning a 12-day war that the US briefly joined to bomb Iranian nuclear sites. Tehran suspended some cooperation with the IAEA and restricted the watchdog's inspectors from accessing sites bombed by Israel and the United States, accusing the UN body of bias and of failing to condemn the strikes.
