Iran agreed Monday to give U.N. officials greater access to some of its nuclear facilities, displaying a new openness with international inspectors at a time when its diplomats are seeking to win relief from crippling economic sanctions.
The pact signed in Tehran was described by Iranian officials as a “road map” for resolving long-standing disputes with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. watchdog that monitors Iran’s nuclear facilities. Western governments have been pressing Tehran for greater transparency as one of the conditions for a broader diplomatic settlement of the nuclear crisis.
The accord does not, however, explicitly grant U.N. inspectors access to Iran’s most sensitive sites, including military facilities where Iranian scientists are alleged to have carried out nuclear-weapons-related research a decade ago.
