Nov. 11--MOSCOW -- Bowing to international pressure for proof it is not building nuclear weapons, Iran announced Monday that it has suspended its uranium enrichment program and will submit to tougher inspections of its nuclear sites by a United Nations watchdog.
The announcement came as the International Atomic Energy Agency's latest report stated that officials have not found any evidence that Iran is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons, according to diplomats.
A diplomat told the Associated Press on Monday that the IAEA report states, "To date there is no evidence that the previous undeclared nuclear material and activities ... were related to a nuclear weapons program."
