Iran may allow UN back into Parchin
 TEHRAN: Iran may allow UN inspectors to re-enter a military base where Washington says tests linked to a covert atomic weapons programme could have taken place, said a senior Iranian official on Monday. Earlier this month, after a prolonged delay, Iran allowed a team from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to acquire environmental samples from the Parchin military base southeast of Tehran. However, IAEA inspectors did not obtain complete access to their desired site and would like to return to take additional samples, say diplomats in Vienna. Asked whether the inspectors would be allowed back into Parchin, Hossein Mousavian, one of Iran's chief nuclear negotiators, said: "I cannot rule that out." Posted by: Fred 2005-01-25 |
