IAEA Confirms Iran’s Compliance with Geneva Deal

(FNA)- Iran is complying with its obligations under the deal it struck with the six world powers (the US, Russia, China, France, and Britain plus Germany) last November, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced.

In its new report released on Thursday, the IAEA said 20-percent uranium enrichment “is no longer taking place” by Iran as agreed in an agreement with the six world powers.

According to a deal which took effect on January 20, the six countries undertook to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Iran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities during a six-month period.

Iran and the world power also agreed that no nuclear-related sanctions will be imposed on Iran during the same period.

It confirmed that no additional uranium enrichment centrifuges have been installed at Iran’s Natanz and Fordo nuclear facilities.

Iran has also provided the IAEA with an updated Design Information Questionnaire (DIQ) for the facility in Arak.

“The measures implemented by Iran and the further commitments it has undertaken represent a positive step forward,” the IAEA report said.

The IAEA report was released as Iran and the six powers concluded talks in Vienna and agreed to meet again on March 17.
