Iran hosts IAEA mission; Syria signs safeguards pact

Article Abstract:

Iran and Syria, countries which are believed to be pursuing nuclear capability, started their move to dispel international anxiety by undertaking conciliatory moves. Iran invited an International Atomic Energy Agency mission to visit its facilities while Syria finally signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty which it had so long chosen to ignore. The US, however, still distrusts Iran as there is the lingering suspicion that the latter is out to acquire nuclear capability sooner or later regardless of present policies.
