The Iranian regime is at least six months behind in providing technical information on the nature of its neutron calculations and experiments on explosives that could be used for an atomic device, a senior UN nuclear watchdog has said.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) official said on Tuesday that the agency expects more information soon from Iran on its nuclear program as there are talks of progress in the talks.The investigation by IAEA on the military dimension of the Iranian regime’s nuclear program runs parallel to Tehran's talks with six world powers to curb its nuclear work in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

Diplomats in Vienna have voiced concern there would be little progress in these talks until that political deal is reached.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian regime’s foreign minister, will meet on March 15 in Switzerland.

In an open letter to the leaders of the Iranian regime, 47 Republican senators on Monday warned that any nuclear deal brokered without their approval could be undone “with the stroke of a pen.”

The letter, authored by Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and co-signed by 46 other Republican lawmakers, seeks to inform the regime’s leaders that any nuclear agreement involving the United States could face constitutional hurdles.

“It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system,” the senators wrote.

“Thus, we are writing to bring to your attention two features of our Constitution—the power to make binding international agreements and the different character of federal offices—which you should seriously consider as negotiations progress. Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement,” they added.

Signers of the letter included all of the Senate’s Republican leaders, and possible 2016 presidential contenders Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.

One Senate Republican who did not sign was Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker. An aide said Corker is focused on getting a veto-proof majority to support his legislation, backed by both Republicans and Democrats, that would require Congress’ authorization of an Iran deal.
