ElBaradei a day earlier had pressed top Iranian nuclear officials to provide swifter answers to questions about areas of ambiguity in the history of its atomic drive, which the West fears could be used to make the bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency director general, on his first trip to Iran for one and a half years, held talks Saturday morning with Iran’s hardline top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, the Mehr news agency reported.
He then went into a meeting with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
ElBaradei was later scheduled to have his first ever meeting with supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a rarity for any visiting head of an international organisation, officials said.
In talks on Friday with the head of the Iranian atomic energy organisation, Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, ElBaradei had urged Tehran to be quicker in answering the IAEA’s questions about remaining areas of doubt in its atomic drive.
