IAEA to test Iran's atom transparency pledge
 The UN atomic watchdogs No 2 official goes to Iran on Wednesday to test Tehrans latest promise to answer questions about its nuclear agenda under the threat of stiffer sanctions. Irans gesture of an action plan to address suspicions its nuclear programme has military goals, combined with a slowdown in uranium enrichment, have raised the hope of defusing a standoff with big powers, according to the IAEAs director. But the United States and EU allies wonder whether Irans offer of transparency is more than a time-buying gambit designed to avert further sanctions against what Western powers suspect is a bomb making programme in disguise.
