IRNA

Vienna, Nov 20, IRNA -- The International Atomic Energy Agency`s 
(IAEA) chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, said here Friday that discussions on 
Iran`s case will take until next week and no resolution can be 
expected until that date. 
ElBaradei told IRNA that there had been progress in discussions 
and consultations among all board members in a bid to reach a 
consensus on the resolution. 
He said that he thought things are moving but the board needed 
more time to deal with the issue. 
He went on to say that everybody was still interested in reaching 
a consensus and there had been a lot of narrowing of differences among
majority of the board members. 
ElBaradei said there had always been different perceptions on how 
to address his report to the board. 
He hoped that the board would be able to get a consensus on the 
resolution. 
ElBaradei said discussion on protocol is somewhat linked to the 
board resolution from Iran`s perspective. 
He said discssion on the protocol will be after an agreement is 
reached on the resolution. 
ElBaradei hoped that a deal, consented by all, would be reached at
the end of board negotiations.
