Iran allows inspectors to visit two key nuclear sites

Iran has agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to enter long-unseen nuclear sites – the key Gchine uranium mine and a heavy-water reactor in Arak.
Days after arduous negotiations in Geneva ended without a decisive agreement between Iranian ministers and six world powers on Iran's nuclear future, Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran's atomic energy organisation, met the IAEA chief, Yukiya Amano, in Tehran and agreed a roadmap for greater co-operation.
A joint statement issued by the IAEA and Iran said both sides had agreed "to strengthen their co-operation and dialogue aimed at ensuring the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme".
"It is foreseen that Iran's co-operation will include providing the IAEA with timely information about its nuclear facilities and in regard to the implementation of transparency measures," the statement said. "Activities will proceed in a step-by-step manner."
