Vienna: The UN's nuclear watchdog on Tuesday said that it has identified three locations in Iran where the country possibly stored undeclared nuclear material or undertook nuclear-related activities without declaring it to international observers.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a confidential report to member nations seen by the Associated Press that it has sent questions to Iran in three separate letters but has received no reply.
