QUESTION: Any comment on Iran agreeing to allow inspectors back in?

MR. KELLY: I will crack open that book now. We look forward to the IAEA's forthcoming report on Iran's compliance with its Security Council, NPT, and IAEA obligations, which we expect will comprehensively address all issues associated with Iran's cooperation with IAEA. I understand that report is going to come out next week sometime. We're going to withhold comment until that report is released. But I will underscore that Iran does have obligations to the IAEA and to the UN Security Council to suspend its enrichment and heavy-water reactor activities and to cooperate to address a full range of very serious questions that we have.

Just a few comments on these reported steps that they apparently offered to make regarding improving surveillance of the Natanz plant and access to the Arak reactor. These reported steps would not address the reason for its noncompliance nor constitute the full and comprehensive cooperation that's required of Iran and would fall well short of Iran's obligations.

And finally, I'll just highlight that they still have not responded to our offer from April to join us in P-5+1 talks that the U.S. is willing to sit down and participate in.

QUESTION: Have you kind of given up on that? I mean, it's been a long time. Do you think that that's just not coming now?

MR. KELLY: No, we have not given up on it. I think you've seen the President has said that our patience is not infinite, that the timetable is not indefinite, but the invitation is still out there.

QUESTION: So you're still thinking of the UNGA as your sort of deadline as to when you start --

MR. KELLY: I don't think that we're - UNGA, per se. I mean, obviously, there would be a lot of opportunities at UNGA to meet in a P-5+1 context, but UNGA is not necessarily the key date here.
