VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog was forced to make an embarrassing admission Thursday -- that it had wrongly accused Iran of withholding information about imports of potentially weapons-related technology.

Iran seized on the admission as proof that it is providing full and timely information on its atomic program, which it says is purely for generating electricity but which the United States believes is a front for developing nuclear weapons.

The disclosure was made as representatives of France, Germany and Britain continued to meet board members of the nuclear watchdog in Vienna to strike a compromise on the wording of a resolution that sharply rebukes Tehran for poor cooperation.

A non-aligned diplomat said Iran's case for softening the resolution had been strengthened by the fact that mistakes had clearly been made on both sides.
