IAEA chief: Iran nuclear deal being implemented as planned
None
OSLO - Iran is implementing last year's interim nuclear deal with six world powers as planned, UN atomic energy chief Yukiya Amano said on Wednesday, almost three months after the accord took effect.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has a pivotal role in checking that Iran is complying with the terms of the Nov. 24 agreement, under which Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program in exchange for some sanctions easing.
The UN body issues monthly updates to IAEA member states about the implementation of the deal that entered into force on January 20, designed to buy time for negotiations on a final settlement of the decade-old dispute over Iran's nuclear activity. The next one is expected around April 20. (Reuters)
