Report: North Korea caves on nuke program?
Update: Iran wants to make a deal?

Verum Serum is all over this. Only one paper’s reporting it, but that paper, Chosun Ilbo, happens to be the biggest in South Korea. Is Bush going to drop a bombshell tomorrow night at the SOTU?

From Tass’s report:

Pyongyang has agreed to suspend all its activities in the nuclear sphere, including its reactor in the Yongbyon research centre and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts to conduct monitoring of its atomic facilities as the first step towards dismantling its nuclear programme. Such agreements were reached at talks in Berlin between the US and North Korean chief negotiators at the six-sided Korean Peninsula denuclearisation talks, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported here on Monday.

During the consultations held in Berlin in recent days, head of the North Korean delegation Kim Gye-gwan told US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Christopher R. Hill that in exchange for this move the North hopes to get from the United States economic and energy assistance, as well as guarantees that Washington will unfreeze North Korea’s accounts in Banco Delta Asia in Aomen (Macau) worth 24 million US dollars. ...

Read the whole post. There's more.

The kicker on the NoKo offer is that Macau bank thing. That bank account's frozen for a valid reason and it's not likely to be unfrozen anytime soon. Dream on, Little Kim.
