TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's chief nuclear negotiator said on Thursday he will hold talks with the European Union foreign policy chief on November 30 over the country's atomic work, which the West fears is a cover to build an atomic bomb.

The outcome of such a meeting between Iran's Saeed Jalili and the EU's Javier Solana could help determine whether Iran will face new sanctions over its nuclear program.

The United States accuses Iran of seeking to build atomic bombs and says that if it succeeds it could threaten world peace. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful and designed for electricity generation. It has consistently refused to heed U.N. demands to halt its nuclear work.

Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, says it wants nuclear-generated electricity in order to free up more oil for export.
