Paris Negotiations Update 12: Iran Deal Forthcoming

Iran has agreed to suspend enrichment.

Tehran still must inform the IAEA. “A deal for a full suspension is done but the IAEA has not received a letter confirming it,” a diplomat told Reuters. “That’s also important that they would have a look at that and see what they signed on to.”

No UF4 poduction, I assume.

IRNA reports that IAEA inspectors are already in Iran, having arrived on Saturday.

Note: The BBC claimed Tehran had “told news agencies” but I see only a Rueters story.

Update: AP now has the story . “Basically it’s a full suspension,” a diplomat told AP. “It’s what the Europeans were looking for.” CNN piles on, too.
