An arrangement has been reached in talks between Iran and major powers towards a nuclear deal that will give the UN atomic-watchdog access to all sites that are suspect, a senior US official says.

“The entry point isn’t that we must be able to get into every military site — because the United States of America wouldn’t allow anybody to get into every military site — so that’s not appropriate,” the official states.

“But if, in the context of the agreement… the IAEA believes it needs access, and has a reason for that access, then we have a process [whereby] that access is given,” the US representative says on condition of anonymity.

“We have worked out a process that we believe will ensure that the IAEA has the access it needs.”
