Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- United Nations atomic agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei called on Iran and the U.S. to give inspectors a chance to reduce tensions over the Islamic Republic's nuclear work.

``I see war drums that are basically saying that the solution is to bomb Iran,'' ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said today in an interview in Vienna. ``It makes me shudder because some of the rhetoric is a reminder'' of the period before the Iraq war.

ElBaradei reiterated expectations that Iran's atomic program, subject to IAEA inspectors' scrutiny since 2003, may be cleared by the end of this year of suspicion that the project was used as cover for nuclear weapons development.

``We have not come to see any undeclared activities or weaponization of their program,'' ElBaradei said. ``Nor have we gotten intelligence to that effect.''
