Note: VIENNA (AP) — Iran will no longer cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency in its investigation of allegations that its government has tried to make nuclear arms, Iran's vice president said Thursday.

Any further queries on the issue "will be dealt with in another way," he added, without going into detail. Aghazadeh also shrugged off a demand from six world powers to show flexibility on suspending uranium enrichment or face further U.N sanctions, and said Iran expected to be able to meet in the middle with its interlocutors.
