Iran Suspends Uranium Enrichment

[cal04]

Iran has suspended uranium enrichment and all related activities, state-run radio reported Monday, honoring an agreement with Europe designed to head off possible U.N. sanctions.

"To build confidence and in line with implementing the Paris Agreement, Iran suspended uranium enrichment (and related activities) as of today," said the brief radio announcement.

In Vienna, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said the suspension appeared confirmed. "I think pretty much everything has come to a halt," Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters.ElBaradei said he expected to have a definitive ruling by Thursday on whether Iran has honored its pledge - made earlier this month - to freeze activities that can be used in energy programs - but also to make nuclear weapons.

The United States accuses Iran of secretly pursuing nuclear weapons and has pushed the international community to take a hard line. Secretary of State Colin Powell said last week that Washington has intelligence indicating Iran is trying to fit missiles to carry nuclear weapons

1. Bush defines truth for us here in the update with his comments...

Bush said Iran must "earn the trust of those of us who are worried about them developing a nuclear weapon."

"Let's say I hope it's true," Bush said at a news conference in Cartegena, Colombia. But, he added, "I think the definition of truth is the willingness of the Iranian regime to allow for verification."
