UN inspectors in Iran have found new evidence of undeclared nuclear activity in the country, three Wall Street Journal sources said. The findings, found in parallel with discussions in the United States on formulating a policy toward the nuclear deal, raise new questions about the scope of the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions. The



samples taken from two sites during tests over the past year by the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency contained traces of radioactive material, diplomats said.

These, they say, could indicate that Iran has carried out work on nuclear weapons, based on the location of the materials.

Diplomats said they did not know the exact nature of what was found.



Last year, Iran blocked IAEA inspectors from inspecting the sites, for seven months. Tehran denied the claim that it was working to produce an atomic bomb and said all its nuclear work was for peacekeeping purposes such as electricity generation and health issues. There was no immediate response from Iran to the findings.
