Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki is holding talks with head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano in Vienna on the Iran controversial nuclear program, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported on Sunday.

In an interview with IRNA prior to the meeting, Mottaki said he would talk with Amano about a formula for the nuclear fuel swap.

The United States and other Western countries suspect Iran of developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program and are seeking new sanctions following Iran's move to enrich uranium to 20%.

The UN-sponsored deal to supply nuclear fuel for a research reactor in Tehran proposes Iran ship out low-enriched uranium to be processed into higher-grade nuclear fuel and then returned to Iran.
