 Alongside the July 14 political agreement with six world powers
world powers, Iran reached a roadmap accord with the International
Atomic Energy Agency which requires Tehran to pass on enough
information about its past nuclear program to allow the U.N. body to
report on the issue by December.
"With regard to clarification of PMD, much work needs to be done,"
Yukiya Amano, IAEA director general, told a news conference,
referring to the term "possible military dimensions".
The assessment is a vital part of the deal between Iran and the six
powers -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and
China -- to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for a lifting
of international sanctions.
Iran provided the IAEA on Aug. 15 with documents and explanations in
writing related to "past and present outstanding issues", Amano told
a meeting of his agency's board of governors on Monday, according to
the text of his speech.

The agency was reviewing the information and would send questions to
Iran on Sept. 15, he said.
"I do not have a particular concern that we will not be able to
complete our assessment by the 15th of December," Amano said.
