a foreign policy victory:Iran to Sign Deal for Nuclear Inspections By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: December 13, 2003 Filed at 12:07 p.m. ET TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran will sign an agreement in the next few days allowing unfettered inspection of its nuclear facilities, Iran's foreign minister said Saturday. The United States and the three main European powers have been pushing for the additional protocol of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty since it became evident that Iran had an advanced nuclear program. Advertisement Iran committed itself to signing the protocol on Oct. 21 -- during a visit by the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany -- but it has yet to do so. The delay has triggered reports that the government was backtracking. Conservatives in the Iranian hierarchy are known to oppose the protocol as a surrender of sovereignty. Asked when Iran will sign the protocol, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told reporters: ``In the next few days.'' Last week the government said the Cabinet had authorized the Foreign Ministry to sign the protocol, which will provide inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency with unfettered access to any Iranian nuclear site. The United States strongly suspects Iran is conducting a secret program to build nuclear bombs. Iran insists its atomic program is peaceful and geared only toward energy production. Last month the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear agency, censured Iran for not declaring certain aspects of its nuclear activities and warned the country to abide by the rules to assure the world it is not making nuclear weapons.
