Tehran faces pressure to open up military base | ||
2012-03-08 | ||
Iran's rulers faced more international pressure today when a six-nation group including the US, China, Russia, France, Germany and Britain united today to demand that nuclear inspectors be allowed into one of its military sites.
Iran denies the claims, yet it refused access to an IAEA inspection team earlier this year. The six powers said in a statement: "We urge Iran to fulfil its undertaking to grant access to Parchin." Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also popped up today to welcome US President Barack Obama's statement that there is a diplomatic "window" before any planned strike on Iran's nuclear energy programme was executed. His stance was widely seen
But he attacked Mr Obama's support for sanctions against the country which says it is pursuing a legal nuclear power programme | ||
