Baku - APA-Economics. Iran offered on Monday to open its nuclear program to five years of "full supervision" by the U.N. atomic energy agency if the world body lifts its sanctions, but made clear that it would forge ahead with its programs for uranium enrichment regardless, APA reports citing ISNA.

The offer from Fereydoun Abbasi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, came amid a new increase in warnings internationally over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. That was led by a report Friday in which the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency said it was "increasingly concerned" that Tehran may be developing its uranium-enrichment program to produce nuclear payloads for missiles.
