Iran Backs Away From Demands on A-Bomb Fuel

The NY Times is still not getting clear answer on whether or not Iran is going to turn off the "20 centrifuges."
"We've seen this kind of commitment from Iran before," a State Department official said. ...

"Iran will permit the I.A.E.A. to place these centrifuges under agency surveillance," said Hossein Mousavian, the chief Iranian negotiator, in a telephone interview from Vienna. "Iran will not conduct any testing."

Asked specifically whether the machines would be turned off, as the Europeans have demanded, Mr. Mousavian said, "We say Iran will not conduct any testing," adding that the matter of Iran's desire to continue research will be discussed when Iran and the European countries begin talks in the coming weeks on possible economic, technological and political incentives for Iran under the European agreement. more

But something no one is talking about is Iran's heavy water reactor in Arak. The EU agreement ignores it. Read more about that here.
