On July 14, Iran and the IAEA signed a Road-map regarding the Islamic Republic�s nuclear work in the Austrian capital city of Vienna.

As part of the Road-map, the IAEA is required to finish its investigations about Iran�s nuclear activities and submit a report to the agency�s board by December 15.
