TEHRAN (Reuters) - The head of Iran's atomic energy organization will meet Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in Vienna on Thursday, Iran's official IRNA news agency said.

IRNA, quoting what it called an informed source, said Gholamreza Aghazadeh and Elbaradei would "exchange views on the process of Iran's nuclear program", without giving further details.

Western powers suspect Iran is seeking to build atom bombs. The Islamic Republic says its nuclear program is a peaceful drive aimed at generating electricity so that it can export more of its oil and gas.
