The West accuses Iran of seeking to develop atomic weapons through its nuclear program.
Iran has repeatedly denied the charge, saying that the country seeks nuclear energy to meet its growing demand for electricity.
Tehran notes that its nuclear program does not violate the boundaries of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to which it is a signatory.
