Iran says that it is ready to give the International Atomic Energy Agency full supervision of its nuclear programme for five years if UN sanctions are lifted. Iran's nuclear chief Fereydoun Abbasi Davani told ISNA news agency that they have proposed that the agency keep Iran's activities and nuclear programme under full supervision for five years, providing the sanctions are lifted.Iran is targeted by four sets of UN Security Council sanctions over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment amid fears in the West that it seeks to build a nuclear bomb ‘ a charge it vehemently denies. Much of Iran's nuclear activities are already under the control of the IAEA, including uranium enrichment — a process which can both produce the fuel for a nuclear reactor and the fissile material for an atomic warhead. The IAEA has for years criticised Tehran for refusing to answer a number of questions about its nuclear programme, and for denying access to certain sites.
