Good progress in Iran – UN nuclear talks

U.N. nuclear watchdog sees ‘good’ progress with Iran, much work remains BY FREDRIK DAHL VIENNA Mon Feb 10, 2014 Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog signaled its determination on Monday to get to the bottom of suspicions that Iran may have worked on designing an atomic bomb, a day after Tehran agreed to start addressing the sensitive issue.

Chief U.N. nuclear inspector Tero Varjoranta said his team made good progress during February 8-9 talks in Tehran but that much work remained to clarify concerns about Iran’s nuclear program in an investigation that Western diplomats say the Islamic state has long stonewalled……

n Tehran, Rouhani told a gathering of foreign diplomats that Iran’s doors “are open to the IAEA within international regulations”, the official news agency IRNA reported.

“We have never sought weapons of mass destruction. We don’t want nuclear know-how for war, as some countries do,” he said…….Varjoranta said Iran had implemented six previously agreed steps under the November framework accord, including providing inspectors access to two-nuclear related sites.

“Since November everything has gone as planned,” he said, and more steps would follow. “These things take time.”http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/10/us-iran-nuclear-iaea-idUSBREA1907820140210
