Iran Gives Ground As Sanctions Loom

Tweet

FACING the growing likelihood of United Nations sanctions, Iran said yesterday it was willing to resume allowing snap atomic inspections but would not yield to demands that it abandon uranium enrichment.

Speaking after the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency released its finding that Iran had breached its international obligations, Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, said his country would allow inspections if its case were dropped by the UN Security Council and passed back to the agency.
