TEHRAN – U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, meeting with his counterpart from Azerbaijan, said on Monday it was imperative that Iran quickly resolve concerns about its nuclear program, according to AFP.
Among other issues, Hagel and Defense Minister Safar Abiyev “discussed the regional situation,” Pentagon spokesman George Little said in a statement.
“Secretary Hagel raised the recent inauguration of Iranian President Hassan Rohani and reiterated that it is imperative that Iran take quick steps to resolve the international community’s deep concerns over its nuclear program,” he added.
Iran and the West are at loggerheads over Tehran’s nuclear program, which Iran says is entirely peaceful but the West claims may be a cover for developing nuclear weapons.
