UN Nuclear Chief Visits Iranian Military Site And Meets With Iran's President

Reuters: U.N. nuclear watchdog says its chief visited military site in Iran

The director general of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, which is investigating whether Iran carried out work related to developing an atom bomb, visited a sensitive military site during a trip to the country, the agency said on Sunday.

The military site, called Parchin, has been at the center of a debate over the level of access that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have in policing a deal reached in July between Iran and six world powers.

The IAEA is due to issue an assessment this year on "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear program under a roadmap agreement accompanying that deal. One open question is whether Iran carried out high-explosives testing at Parchin that could be related to making a nuclear warhead.

WNU Editor: If Iran had not permitted these inspectors on the site, it would have only fuelled opposition to the deal in the U.S.
