IAEA Says Iran Agrees to Clarify Nuclear Activity

Via VOA News -

The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has agreed to cooperate in clarifying whether it has tried to develop nuclear weapons. From Paris, Lisa Bryant reports the Vienna-based IAEA hopes Tehran will provide the information in May.

News of Tehran's agreement to cooperate in clarifying whether or not it has been involved in nuclear-weapons development was provided in a brief statement by the IAEA. The IAEA considers the agreement a positive sign. It comes a day after Iran's government described talks with top IAEA investigator Oli Heinonen in Tehran as positive.

The United States and other western powers believe Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, but Tehran says its nuclear activities are for purely peaceful purposes - to generate energy.
