Iran’s atomic energy organisation denied on Thursday that Iranian and Israeli experts held secret talks on regional nuclear issues, as announced by the Jewish state, state television’s website reported.

“This lie is a kind of psychological operation designed to affect the constant success of Iran’s dynamic diplomacy in the Geneva and Vienna meetings,” the organisation’s spokesman, Ali Shirzadian, was quoted as saying.

A spokeswoman for Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission said on Thursday that commission representatives had held several meetings with an Iranian official to discuss nuclear issues in the region.

The spokeswoman declined to give details of the meetings, but the Haaretz daily said the officials discussed the chances of declaring the Middle East a nuclear-free zone.
