Iran agrees to suspend all uranium enrichment activities

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 15, Kyodo/IRNA -- Iran promised Sunday to suspend all 
uranium enrichment activities in an agreement concluded the same day 
with Britain, France and Germany, officials said. 
Iranian government officials said the agreement covers all 
enrichment-related operations, including the production of centrifuge 
devices, a key step in the manufacture of weapons-grade uranium. 
The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency 
is scheduled to meet on November 25. Sunday`s agreement will most 
likely avert a possible IAEA decision to refer the Iranian nuclear 
issue to the UN Security Council. 
Hassan Rohani, Iran`s top official for nuclear policy, met with 
the ambassadors of the three European countries on Sunday. 
According to Reuters news agency, Rohani said the freeze on the 
Iranian nuclear program would remain in place as long as the 
negotiation process continues with the three European powers. 
Tehran has confirmed the agreement with the IAEA, Rohani has 
reportedly said. 
Britain, France and Germany had offered to help Iran build light 
water nuclear reactors for power generation in exchange for a total 
freeze of its uranium enrichment activities. 
Experts from the two sides reached a provisional agreement on the 
Iran nuclear issue during two days of talks in Paris on Nov. 5-6. 
A formal agreement came after the two sides ironed out 
differences on the scope of the nuclear freeze and how long it 
would last.
