Iran has agreed to let inspectors
from the United Nations Nuclear Agency
visit its recently rebuilt second uranium enrichment plant.
They will go there on Oct. 25th,
the day was set during a visit to Tehran
by the head of the agency Mohammed ElBaradei.
The revelation last month
said Iran was building an underground facility near Qom
heightened international concern
that it's secretly trying to develope nuclear weapons.
But Mr. ElBaradei gave an upbeat
assessment to relations with Iran.
I have been saying
for a number of years
that we need transparency on the part of Iran.
We need co-operation
on the part of the international community.
So I see that we are at the critical moment.
I see that we are shifting gears
from confrontation into transparency and co-operation.
In Washington President Obama's top security advisor
said things appeared to be moving
in the right direction.
