The Agreement Will Be Signed Soon – IAEA Director
IAEA Director Yukiya Amano announced today that an agreement
in principle has been reached with Iran on probing suspected work on nuclear
weapons and the agreement will be signed soon. Details still need to be worked
out, but the Iranians have assured Amano that those details will not stand in the way
of signing the deal. Amano spoke to reporters today after returning from
Tehran [AP, 22 May 2012].
UPDATE: The U.S. State Department said although the Amano agreement was a “step forward” but Iran would be judged on actions leading to tangible results.

“The announcement of the deal is one thing, but the implementation is
what we’re going to be looking for,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria
Nuland. The U.S. wants “access to all of the locations, the documents and the
personnel that the IAEA requires in order to determine whether Iran’s program
is exclusively for peaceful purposes,” she added.
