Iran: Origins of the nuclear dispute

big snip>

Mohamed ElBaradei, IAEA director general, had hoped that a temporary de facto suspension of Iran's nuclear activities might grow into a more permanent entente between the various sides. But after two years of trying to facilitate talks between Iran and the EU3, he has publicly said that his patience is running out. Mr ElBaradei's next report on Iran on March 6, which will be the basis for the IAEA discussions, is likely to break with his previous efforts, which have taken pains to be even-handed. Instead, he is set to report that he has made "no progress" in persuading Iran to allow access to suspect sites or to hand over documents that could cast light on whether Tehran has sought to develop nuclear weapons.
