A fresh round of talks on Iran's disputed nuclear program will be held in Moscow next month, Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday.

A fresh round of talks on Iran's disputed nuclear program will be held in Moscow next month, Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday.

The new meeting will be held on June 18-19, the ministry said in a statement.

The announcement was first made by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton following negotiations between Iran and six world powers in Baghdad on Thursday.

The six powers are seeking to force Iran to halt enrchiment of uranium, which they fear might be used to create a nuclear bomb. Tehran insists its program is aimed at the production of civilian energy.

Speaking to reporters in the Iraqi capital on Thurdsay evening, Ashton described the talks as "intense" but said there was "some common ground."

But Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said unranium enrichment was his country's "right."

Earlier this week, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano said a deal with Iran to allow IAEA inspections there was expected "quite soon."
