...North Korea on its word, considering the North’s proclivity towards breaking promises. Consider the history: Pledging to pursue nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, the North signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1985, yet it didn’t allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into the country until 1992. When inspectors demanded greater access to the nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, the communist leadership blustered that the IAEA was the U.S.’s poodle and kicked inspectors out of the country.Despite the North’s past transgressions, the recent February deal seems...
...that is the foundation for the deal, and requires an annual White House certification that India's foreign policy aligns with that of the U.S. The leftists are still angry that the U.S. pressured India into voting against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting last year. In the name of sovereignty, they want to end talks with the IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers Group that would finalize the deal. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's reaction was a firm no. "Our government is committed to the development of nuclear energy," he insisted. The deal is especially crucial...
...fissile material cut-off treaty. It's a foreign policy triumph that wins India a seat at the nuclear high table while allowing it to refrain from signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The deal, many security and nuclear experts say, is more than India could have hoped...
...while the two sides were meeting in Baghdad on Tuesday, there was also activity on a second key front - in Vienna, where Iranian negotiators met with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdogs, to discuss plans for inspectors to return to Iran next week. IAEA officials were upbeat about what they said was a "serious and substantial" agreement reached in talks in Tehran two weeks ago, to develop a plan of action in which Iran would settle all outstanding concerns raised by the IAEA over its nuclear program. Anticipating a new round of U.N. Security Council sanctions over...
...restoring cooperation with the IAEA, Iran isn't running up a white flag. Instead, it is hoping to forestall further sanctions to pursue a deal with the Europeans that strictly limits but does not entirely eliminate uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. The Iranians believe the Europeans are willing to settle for a compromise on the enrichment issue that allows Iran to maintain some limited research capability under international supervision, recognizing that Iran has already gained the know-how that Washington's zero-enrichment position was designed to prevent. And Tehran's newly cooperative stance appears to have at least succeeded...
