No secret agreement with Iran: White House

White House refuted reports of a "secret agreement" with Iran on its nuclear weapons programme and said it would soon make public the agreement that was reached by Iran with the P5+1 countries.

Washington: The White House on Tuesday strongly refuted reports of a "secret agreement" with Iran on its nuclear weapons programme and said it would soon make public the agreement that was reached by Iran with the P5+1 countries.

"It is another indication of reporting that`s not accurate. There is no secret agreement. The documentation associated with the implementation arrangements tracks completely with what we have described, which are technical plans submitted to the IAEA," the White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters. Carney was responding to a question on media reports in Iran that there was a secret agreement, which includes a 30-page annex to the agreement that Iran has reached with the P5+1 countries - the US, UK, Russia, China, and France plus Germany - on its nuclear programme. "The technical understandings clarify how the provisions of the joint plan of action, the publicly released joint plan of action, will be implemented and verified and the timing of implementation of its provisions. "This is not solely a US process. It`s not an agreement negotiated solely between the United States and Iran. These are understandings that were reached with our P5+one partners, the European Union, the IAEA and Iran," he said. "We will make the text available to the Congress and the public. But we must work with the parties on when and in what format the information will be released, and we hope to do that soon. Carney said what Iranian leaders say for their domestic audience purposes is "far less meaningful than what they do and what the agreements commit them to".
