Iran Stonewalling Efforts to Inspect Parchin Site
(Reuters) Fredrik Dahl - Just days after negotiations in Istanbul, Iran says it is ready to resume talks with the IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, but still appears to be stonewalling a request for access to a key military site, Western diplomats said on Thursday. The IAEA's most pressing demand is that its inspectors be allowed to visit the Parchin military site southeast of Tehran, where nuclear-relevant research may have taken place. Iran must come clean "regarding clandestine work directly related to nuclear weaponization," including opening up sites such as Parchin to inspections, said Alireza Nader, a senior analyst at RAND Corporation.
