IAEA: ElBaradei To Visit Iran This Weekend

The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog has confirmed that its director general will visit Iran this weekend.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says Mohamed ElBaradei and the Iranians will discuss a broad range of issues, including a covertly built enrichment facility that it recently revealed.

ElBaradei's visit comes just days after Iran and six world powers put nuclear talks back on track at a landmark session in Geneva that included the highest-level bilateral contact with the U.S. in years.

While Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, the U.S. and key allies contend it is covertly trying to build a nuclear weapon.
