Nuclear inspectors in Iran
Five UN nuclear inspectors arrived in Tehran today to try to confirm whether Iran has stopped suspicious nuclear activities – including, as it has twice promised to do, suspending the building and assembling of centrifuges for uranium enrichment.
The US and other nations accuse Iran of attempting to hide a nuclear weapons programme and are pushing the United Nations to impose sanctions. Tehran insists its wants only atomic energy.
Mohammad Saeedi, a top official of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, said it had stopped building and assembling centrifuges on Friday.
Iran has also committed to meeting deadlines on disclosing the source of traces of its weapons-grade uranium and answering questions on its recently discovered programme to make advanced P-2 centrifuges to enrich uranium, possibly to weapons grade.
