The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) showed that Iran had met the terms of the six-month agreement, under which it limited its atomic activities in exchange for some easing of the sanctions which are crippling its economy. The agreement was due to expire on Sunday but will be extended for another 4 months with some adjustments. The IAEA said the extension underlines the difficulties negotiators face in settling the dispute permanently even if Iran has met its commitments under the preliminary agreement.
