Iran and the IAEA deepened cooperation last November as Iran closed in on an interim nuclear deal with the six powers.
In late July and in its latest report on Iran, the IAEA confirmed Tehran?s commitment to the interim deal it struck with Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, France and Britain plus Germany) in Geneva in late November, 2013.
The IAEA report showed that Iran had met the terms of the six-month agreement, under which it limited its atomic activities in exchange for some easing of sanctions.
The discussions between the IAEA and Iran are a separate track of talks from the international negotiations between Iran and six powers on Iran?s future nuclear activities and removal of the Western sanctions.
On July 20, the deadline for reaching a final agreement on Iran?s future nuclear activities was postponed by four monthsuntil November 24to give more time for diplomatic efforts.
