UN nuclear inspectors are back in Iran for a second time in a month, hoping to make progress in talks on the country's nuclear programme.
Chief inspector Herman Nackaerts said his team's "highest priority" was to clarify the "possible military dimensions" of the nuclear programme.
But he cautioned that progress "may take a while".
Iran insists its uranium enrichment work is peaceful in purpose, but Western nations believe the programme is geared towards making weapons.
Tensions have risen over speculation that Israel may carry out a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon arrived in Israel at the weekend for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials.
But the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, warned on Sunday that it was still unclear whether Iran was at a stage to assemble a nuclear bomb.
