DMCA | The head of the UN nuclear agency, Yukiya Amano, has said an agreement would be signed "quite soon" with Iran to allow an investigation into claims it had tried to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran wanted assurances the investigation should not continue indefinitely but should have a timetable and end point to aim for. For his part, Herman Nackaerts, the chief IAEA inspector, had insisted his inspectors should be able to follow leads wherever they led without tying their hands in advance. Amano was seeking a compromise and it remains unclear how close he has come. |
