DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The only way to tackle the dispute with Iran over its nuclear programme is to use diplomacy, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Thursday.

"I am convinced that the only way forward in Iran is engagement," ElBaradei said at a panel discussion on nuclear proliferation at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

"We have to invest in peace," he said and added that if the international community fails to do that "the consequence will be 10 times worse."
