Vienna, Nov 08: Iran will next week give the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) letters agreeing to unannounced UN inspections of its nuclear facilites and confirming it will suspend the enrichment of uranium, the two sides said today.

"Next week we will get the letter by Iran for the conclusion of the Additional (Nuclear) Protocol, which is a positive step," IAEA Director General Mohamed Elbaradei told reporters after a meeting with Iranian security chief Hasan Rowhani.
"I was also told by Dr Rowhani that next week we will get again a letter indicating Iran's agreement to suspend all (uranium) enrichment-related activities and reprocessing as a confidence building measure, which is also a quite positive step," Elbaradei said.
The United States accuses Iran, which is building a nuclear power reactor with Russian help, of secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran vehemently denies the charge.
In September the IAEA, The United Nations' nuclear Watchdog, gave Iran until October 31 to prove it was not secretly developing such weapons.
Tehran subsequently offered to sign an additional protocol to the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) that would permit IAEA inspectors to make unannounced visits to suspect nuclear weapons sites in Iran.
