WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The International Atomic Energy Agency has concluded that Iran has secretly produced small amounts of nuclear materials, including
low-enriched uranium (LEU) and plutonium that could be used to develop nuclear weapons, according to a confidential report obtained by CNN.
"Iran has now acknowledged that it has been developing, for 18 years, a uranium centrifuge enrichment program, and, for 12 years, a laser enrichment
program. In that context, Iran has admitted that it produced small amounts of LEU using both centrifuge and laser enrichment processes, and that it
had failed to report a large number of conversion, fabrication and irradiation activities involving nuclear material, including the separation of
small amounts of plutonium.".......................
In addition, in another move welcomed by the IAEA, Iran informed the IAEA's director general that it had "decided to suspend, with effect from 10
November 2003, all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities in Iran."
However, the IAEA report notes that it will now put Iran's words to the test and "undertake all the steps necessary to confirm that the information
provided ... is correct and complete."

So the IAEA is gonna hold Iran to their word I guess?
Im sure something more will develop soon.
