Agreement paves way for diplomatic talks between Tehran and the US over sanctions
The UN’s nuclear inspectorate has struck a three-month deal with Iran giving it sufficient continued access to verify any nuclear activity in the country, opening the space for wider political and diplomatic talks between Tehran and the US.
Iran will go ahead with its threat to withdraw this week from the additional protocol, the agreement that gives inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) intrusive powers.
