VIENNA, Austria (AP) — The U.N. nuclear watchdog suggests Iran may be withholding information the agency needs to establish whether Tehran tried to make nuclear arms.

The International Atomic Energy Agency also says Iran continues to deny such activities, dismissing evidence to the contrary as misleading or false.

The findings are part of a restricted agency report forwarded to the U.N. Security Council and to the 35 board members of the International Atomic Energy Agency that was obtained by The Associated Press.

The report Monday also noted that Tehran remains defiant of U.N. Security Council demands to stop uranium enrichment.
