Mohammad ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has called on Iran to answer all questions related to its nuclear program within the coming months. On Monday, during the first day of the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna, he stated that for the credibility and completion of the inspection process of Iran's nuclear facilities, it is 'essential' that all issues related to Iran's nuclear program be resolved.

Iran firmly states that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.
