Iran Offers New Nuclear Deal -- L.A. Times

Iran says it will open its nuclear program to five years of 'full supervision' by the U.N. atomic energy agency if the world body lifts its sanctions. But the country's nuclear chief makes clear that its uranium enrichment programs are going ahead.

International Atomic Energy Agency said it was "increasingly concerned" that Tehran may be developing its uranium-enrichment program to produce nuclear payloads for missiles.
