The International Atomic Energy Agency is meeting in Vienna to discuss a report that says Iran has failed to honor nuclear accords.
A confidential IAEA report, obtained by Western news agencies, says Tehran has fallen short of its nuclear treaty obligations by failing to disclose its use of nuclear material.
The Associated Press quotes the head of the U.N. nuclear agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, as urging Iran to give "credible assurances" of the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities.
The Bush administration says Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies this.
European Union foreign ministers also are discussing Iran's nuclear program Monday in Luxembourg. They are expected to urge Iran to sign a protocol allowing U.N. inspections of the nuclear sites.
