Iran to Allow Stringent Nuke Inspections

[Khephra]

VIENNA, Austria -- Working to deflect the possibility of international sanctions, a powerful Iranian official affirmed Saturday that his country will allow stringent inspections of its nuclear facilities and suspend uranium enrichment to end suspicions Tehran is developing atomic weapons.

The promise -- from Hasan Rowhani, who heads Iran's Supreme National Security Council -- came less than two weeks ahead of a top-level meeting by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The agency director general, Mohamed ElBaradei, told reporters that Rowhani gave him the assurances during a meeting and would make an official announcement next week specifying the suspension dates.

"We will also next week get the letter for the conclusion of the additional protocol," which would allow U.N. inspectors access to all of Iran's nuclear activities, the Vienna-based agency chief said.
