Iran may allow inspection of its nuclear program

SEP 06, 2011

New York Times : Iran may allow its nuclear activities to be supervised by international inspectors for the next five years—on the condition that the economic sanctions against the country be lifted. Fereydoon Abbasi, the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency, made the offer Monday, but his proposal was “vaguely worded” and “far from clear,” writes David Sanger for the New York Times. Nevertheless, it is the first time since October 2009 that Iran has indicated a willingness to negotiate, and the Obama administration sees it as a sign that the sanctions have been effective.
