Iran Nuclear: UN's Nuke Inspectors Banned From Atomic Sites
 Tehran, 22 Jan. (AKI) - Inspectors with the United Nations' atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will not be allowed to visit Iran's nuclear sites, the president of the parliamentary foreign and security commission, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, announced on Monday. "Banning the inspectors' entry is the first concrete step towards the limitation of cooperation with the IAEA," said BoroujerdiOn 27 December, just a few days after the UN Security Council unanimously voted in favour of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme, the Iranian parliament voted legislation demanding that the government revise the country's relations with the Vienna-based watchdog. The Security Council's resolution granted Iran three months to suspend sensitive nuclear work the international community fears is aimed at building nuclear weapons or face sanctions. The UN ultimatum expires on 21 February. There's precedent. Posted by: mrp 2007-01-22 |
