Iran signs new agreement with top UN body over nuclear programme

The Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami has stressed his country's nuclear activities are within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

In a statement, Mohammad Eslami said Tehran's nuclear program aims to support the country's industrial production needs, as well as the needs of Iranian consumers for certain goods.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Iran has reached a good agreement with the IAEA.

He said that the new agreement would remove the alleged concerns about Iran's peaceful nuclear program and help cooperation between Iran and the UN nuclear agency to make further progress.
