Earlier on Tuesday the UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation board in Vienna closed its investigation into whether Iran sought atomic weapons, opting to back the global deal with Tehran rather than dwell on Iran’s past activities, diplomats said.

Marcus Mariota’s right knee injury not believed serious
Chris Mortensen of ESPN said he has a sprained MCL, the same injury he had earlier this year that cost him some time. He left the game in the second quarter after running back Antonio Andrews failed to block linebacker Jamie Collins.
The Obama administration and the IAEA have argued that the nuclear deal reached between Iran and the six world powers-the U.S., the U.K., Russia, China, France and Germany-allows for much greater scrutiny of Iran’s nuclear program than in the past.

“This resolution goes far beyond closing the issue of so-called PMD (Possible Military Dimension) and cancels the 12 previous resolutions of the council of governors of the IAEA which seriously restricted our country’s nuclear programme”, Mr Zarif was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
Before the resolution’s adoption, agency head Yukiya Amano told the board that his investigation couldn’t “reconstruct all the details of activities conducted by Iran in the past”.
The Director General of IAEA said that his agency will be responsible for certifying Iran’s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the document governing the nuclear agreement.
Immediately following the October 10 launch, the U.S., France, Britain and Germany asked the Security Council to take “appropriate action” against Iran, and the 15-nation council is expected to discuss the report Tuesday.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said “serious doubts and outstanding issues” remained following the report.
He added: “The agency has no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009”.
US chief delegate Henry S. Ensher said the IAEA assessment was not surprising, considering “Iran’s long history of concealment, denial, and deception”. Several economic restrictions were placed on Iran after allegations of development of nuclear weapons were made against Iran.
With companies from the six powers and other nations lining up to do business in the Islamic Republic once sanctions are lifted, there had been little opposition to the resolution.
Mr. Amano said that while Iran was working “at quite high speed” to meet its commitments, the agency would need “some weeks” to assess whether it had done everything required. A panel of the UN Security Council’s experts is checking new information on the possible violations by Iran of the Council’s resolutions, the chairman of the UNSC committee on sanctions against Tehran, Roman Marchesi, has said.
