"Iran has agreed to clarify all outstanding questions over its past nuclear activities within a month, the UN nuclear watchdog has announced.
Western countries fear Iran is refusing to suspend uranium enrichment because it wants to produce a nuclear weapon.
Tehran denies this, insisting the programme is solely to generate electricity.
The announcement by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) came after Mohamed ElBaradei's two-day visit to Iran, during which he met top officials including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The deputy head of Iran's atomic energy agency, Mohammed Saeedi, said his country would "respond within the space of four weeks to the remaining questions so that the IAEA can make a transparent report on the Iranian nuclear programme."
This article discusses Iran's openness about its nuclear program's intentions. Even though Iran is going to clarify all questions about its nuclear activites, Western countries still fear Iran's enrichment of uranium; fearing that it may be used to create weapons of mass destruction. Nonetheless, Iran's willingness to answer questions about its nuclear program, brings Western countries a step closer to discovering Iran's true nuclear intentions.
