The International Atomic Energy Agency's governing board has unanimously reappointed Mohamed ElBaradei to a third, four-year term as head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Following the board meeting on Monday, ElBaradei said Iran is "inching forward" in providing his agency with proof that the country's nuclear program is peaceful and that the government is living up to its commitments to the United Nations.
ElBaradei told the governors his next four-year term will be concerned with "heavy and worrying issues" concerning the attempt of the international community to fight the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
After the session, ElBaradei told reporters that he will tell the board on Wednesday that Iran is providing his inspectors with more of the information they need.
He said he will report an improvement in the ability of inspectors to talk with people they need to interview and to get the data they require.
