The head of Iran's atomic energy organisation, Mohammad Eslami, has arrived in Moscow for talks, Iranian state-run media said on September 22, as the UN considers whether to reimpose sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme.

On September 19, the 15-member UN Security Council rejected a draft resolution to permanently lift sanctions on Tehran, a move backed by Russia and China, and who oppose efforts by Britain, France and Germany to reimpose UN sanctions.

"Contract negotiations have taken place and with the signing of the agreement this week, we will enter the operational steps," Eslami said.
