Tehran eliminates all sensitive nuclear fuel stockpile under deal

Iran has eliminated all the sensitive stockpile of enriched uranium under an interim deal agreed with six major powers last November, a monthly updating report of the UN nuclear agency showed on Friday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s confidential monthly report obtained by Xinhua showed that Iran is complying with its obligations under the deal to suspend some of its controversial nuclear activities.
IAEA, which is playing the monitoring role in Iran's implementation of the interim deal, showed that Iran is complying with its obligations under the deal to suspend some of its controversial nuclear activities.
The report noted Iran has completed the dilution of the 20 percent enriched uranium stockpile, which is seen as the potential nuclear fuel for making a nuclear bomb if further enriched to higher grade.
Under the landmark deal agreed last November in Geneva, Iran would suspend some disputed atomic plan in exchange of relevant sanction relief in six months, buying time for negotiations for the comprehensive solution to put an end to the long-term disputed issue.
Iran and six major powers (five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany) are engaging in rounds of talks in the capital city of Austria.
Based on a common framework of text agreed in this week's talks here, the new round of talks would resume in Vienna on July 2, while gaps remain concerning the nuclear fuel output capacity of Iran's nuclear program.
Western powers suspected the real intention of Iran's nuclear plan, saying Tehran could covertly develop nuclear weapon under its so-called peaceful nuclear program, an allegation Iran denies.
