(Adds talks to resume on Tuesday)

VIENNA, May 14 (Reuters) – Senior U.N. nuclear watchdog

officials left an Iranian diplomatic mission in Vienna after

around five hours of talks on the Islamic state’s disputed

atomic activities on Monday, declining any comment to media

waiting outside.

A spokeswoman for the International Atomic Energy Agency

(IAEA), the Vienna-based U.N. nuclear agency, later said the

talks would resume on Tuesday as originally planned but gave no

further details.

The team led by Herman Nackaerts, deputy director general of

the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was driven away

in a black van shortly after 3 p.m. (1300 GMT).

The two days of talks are to deal with the IAEA’s concerns

about possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear programme.
