The United States and Israel are seeking to turn nuclear talks into a "strategic trap" for Iran, Iranian lawmakers said in a statement on Tuesday, days before a planned sixth round of Iran-U.S. nuclear talks.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says that information Iran claims to have obtained regarding Israel’s nuclear program “seems to refer” to the country’s Soreq Nuclear Research Center.

Iran has issued a stark warning to Western powers and Israel over what it calls an escalating campaign by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its backers, ahead of a planned sixth round of nuclear talks with the United States.
