VIENNA, Austria (AP) - The U.S. has recently shared new intelligence with the International Atomic Energy Agency on key aspects of Iran's nuclear program that Washington says shows Tehran was directly engaged in trying to make a bomb, diplomats said Thursday.

The diplomats told The Associated press Washington also gave the IAEA permission to confront Iran with at least some of the evidence in an attempt to pry details out of the Islamic republic on the activities as part of the U.N. nuclear watchdog's attempts to probe Iran's suspicious nuclear past.
