Deal Said to Give U.N. Inspectors Access to Reactor, Mine
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran has reached a deal with the United Nations's nuclear chief to expand monitoring of the country's atomic program, according to Iranian state television. State TV said the deal, which could boost wider negotiations over Tehran's atomic program, was struck Monday in talks with U.N. nuclear chief Yukiya Amano. The so-called "road map" will give U.N. inspectors a broader reach, including access to a heavy water reactor under construction and a key uranium mine. The talks in Tehran came after envoys from Iran and world powers failed over the weekend in Geneva to reach an accord on efforts to ease Western concerns that Iran could one day develop nuclear weapons—an assertion Iran denies. Those negotiations, between Iran and the world powers, are scheduled to resume next week.
