At last the Europeans had their way…However it is yet to be seen how long Iranians would remain committed to this agreement.
VIENNA: Iran confirmed on Sunday it is withdrawing a demand to exempt some equipment from a freeze on fuel cycle activities and accepts full suspension of uranium enrichment, a senior official told AFP.
“I confirm from my side that we have delivered the letter to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) to confirm that Iran will permit the IAEA to place these components, 20 centrifuges, under agency surveillance,” Iranian nuclear negotiator Hossein Moussavian said.
“Iran will not conduct any testing (of the centrifuges) and will discuss further with the EU3 (Britain, Germany and France) in December when discussions for a long-term arrangement (on the freeze) commence,” Moussavian said.
Moussavian said Iran was also set to conclude talks with EU negotiators Britain, France and Germany on a resolution the European trio is to submit on Monday to a meeting of the IAEA’s 35-nation board of governors
The resolution puts the IAEA’s stamp of approval on the uranium enrichment suspension, a confidence-building measure by Iran designed to allay US charges that Tehran is secretly developing nuclear weapons

Hopefully like Iran says, it'll be temporary. Its just to hush the plonkers over the atlantic for a while.

Seems like Shia Maulvies know how to listen. First Iraq's Sistani and now Iran's Mullahs backed down and saved themselves. I wish Pakistani Maulvies learn from the two cases.

Remember who was the Prez at that time? Carter!
Back then Soviet Union was marching in Afghanistan with pride and pomposity.
Things in the ME changed even more drastically after Gulf War-I.
Iranian Mullahs are smart so far. They have buckled under pressure farther than I thought they would. If the trend continues, Iran may avoid sanctions. But the price will be the IAEA locks on the centrifuges.
I think U.S should sell a nuke–er to every friggin country, just get it over with you know. Here you go have a nukee on us, Buy three.. get one free. A K-Mart like blue light special at lockheed martin or Northrop. First 20 customers get an additional 20 % discount. 6 month no interest. Bad Credit!! No Credit!! No problem!! Financing available through IMF at an introductry low price of 25 % APR* (certain resrictions apply). Trade in your old toy and get an extra 5 %. You want an ICBM no problem !!! Free Installation**. You think our competitors are selling cheaper, bring in their pamphlet we’ll beat their price. We will not be undersold!!!

Failure to pay will result in U.N Sanctions and sucking blood with impunity. Killing your firstborns through malnutrition, mayhem in your respective countries via satellite entertainment and confusing the heck out of your consituents. May result in involuntary occupation of your country.

Member BBB, U.N, Proudlyt accept Master Card… Visa..
Little Kim already has a wall mart with buy one get one free and money back gurantee and extended warranty… Once you have uranium or plutonium rod in place you sit at the table for talks hell even blackmail but when you explode one from axis of evil you become a key alley..
Jokes aside... US also knows that its fighting a losing war by trying to browbeat countries into not acquiring nuclear technology. The proof is that US herself is now developing more advanced, more mobile and more focused nuclear weapons. Pretty soon it will be a free-for-all. And its not a pretty picture, actually. More weapons, deadlier weapons in the hands of stupid people. Then again, c'est la vie. The price of progress.
However, till that time, its all secret progress in nuclear field. It takes countries a lot of guts and determination to start, maintain and successfully conclude a nuclear weapons program. Iraq and Libya are poster childs of failed programs. India, Pakistan and North Korea did succeed with a combination of reourcefulness, intelligence and security. Only time will tell if Iran joins the former club or the latter.
Personally I think atleast a few muslim countries should have nuclear weapons, as that keeps the heat away from Pakistan (sole nuclear prowess) as well as staggers the risk of adventure by other countries.
Ho hohoho ho hoho ho ho ha ha ha
