Iran opens up more to IAEA staff
Print Edition
The 鈥渉uge task鈥 of disabling parts of Iran鈥檚 nuclear infrastructure will probably start this week, a top official said Sunday as US President Barack Obama took steps to end sanctions.
Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran鈥檚 nuclear agency, told state television he was awaiting President Hassan Rouhani鈥檚 order to remove thousands of centrifuges from atomic sites at Natanz and Fordo.
The rendering of the centrifuges 鈥 fast-spinning machines that enrich uranium 鈥 was part of a July 14 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, between Iran and six world powers to end a 13-year dispute over Tehran鈥檚 atomic activities.
On Sunday, Obama ordered the US government to 鈥渢ake all appropriate additional measures to ensure the prompt and effective implementation of the US commitments set forth in the JCPOA鈥.
The US measures will take effect upon confirmation by Secretary of State John Kerry that Iran has met its commitments under the accord, Obama said, likely at the end of 2015 or early 2016.
As well as slashing its number of centrifuges to around 6,000, Iran will have to satisfy the International Atomic Energy Agency that it has taken steps to ensure its Arak reactor and other installations cannot be used for military purposes.
The IAEA鈥檚 final report on Iran is due by December 15.
