IAEA reports improved cooperation with Iran

Acting IAEA Director General Cornel Feruta reported progress with Iran today.

“Some engagement is ongoing, and this engagement is currently taking place,” Feruta said, adding that this new engagement was in relation to his call in September for action by Iran, though he still declined to go into specifics.

According to him, the progress was the result of meetings with various senior Iranian officials in recent weeks.

“This is an ongoing process ... I cannot prejudge how this is going to end. The engagement doesn’t mean that the issues are completely addressed, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Reuters cited Feruta as saying.
