By Khalid Kazimov - Trend:

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iranian officials will hold a session on November 24 in Vienna to discuss the agency's upcoming report on the possible military dimensions (PMD) to Tehran's nuclear program.

The announcement was made by Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Tasnim news agency reported.

"Then the agency will present its report during the next week. The IAEA board of governors will have to announce their conclusion in the meeting on December 15," he added.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is expected to leave Tehran for Vienna on Nov. 24 to attend the session.

Iran has announced that it will fulfill its commitments regarding Arak heavy water reactor once the agency settles allegations regarding Tehran's past military dimensions to its nuclear program.

Kamalvandi further added that Iran will start to take measures regarding the Arak heavy water reactor following the agency's report on December 15.

The P5+1 countries (US, the UK, China, Russia, France and Germany) have already signed a document to contribute to the redesigning and modernizing Arak reactor.

Under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) clinched in July, Iran should redesign and rebuild the modernized heavy water research reactor in Arak. The redesigned and rebuilt Arak reactor will not produce weapons-grade plutonium.
