| Iran nuclear questions to be exposed by inspectors visit |
| 2012-01-27 |
| Iran must open its nuclear facilities to a team of inspectors heading to Tehran on Friday as the full extent of its atomic work remains a mystery, a leading international official has said. Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency chief told AFP that the organisation's previous efforts to verify whether all its activities were for non-military purposes had been hampered by "a lack of cooperation" from Iran which he hoped would change. "The high-level team leaves today and starts work tomorrow," Amano said. "We hope they (Iran) will take a constructive approach. We hope that there will be substantial cooperation." However he added that there was the possibility of more nuclear secrets being uncovered in Iran. "We are not very sure that Iran has declared everything," Mr Amano said in Davos, Switzerland. At the same meeting, Ehud Barak, the Israeli Defense Minister, said an Iranian nuclear weapon would mean "the end of any anti-proliferation regime". "Iran is determined to more forward toward a nuclear- military program," Barak told a panel in Davos today. "They are ready to fight and deceive the whole world to turn into a nuclear-military power." |
