Iran has agreed to stop producing uranium enriched close to the level required for nuclear weapons, a sign the Islamic Republic may be ready to resolve a standoff with the West over its atomic activities.

The Islamic Republic’s engineers have already taken the first steps necessary to cap output, the IAEA wrote.
