MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Iran has pledged to end years of stonewalling on past suspicious activities and provide answers to the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency probing its atomic program in an effort to evade new U.N. sanctions, an official said Friday.

The offer, which the official said was made Thursday by top Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, falls short of the concession sought by the international community -- a promise to freeze Iran's uranium enrichment activities.
