IAEA chief urges immediate access to Iran site
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is pressing Iran to grant his inspectors access "without further delay" to a military site where Iran is believed to conducting nuclear activities, Radio Liberty reported.
IAEA head Yukiya Amano told the governing board of the IAEA on September 10 that "activities" at the Parchin facility -- a reference to suspected clean-up work there -- could have an "adverse impact" on the IAEA's investigation, if and when inspectors were allowed to go there.
EXPLAINER: What's so special about Parchin?
Amano said "no concrete results" had been achieved in meetings between senior IAEA officials and Iran since January.
Iran told the UN agency in a letter last month that the allegation of nuclear-linked work at Parchin, located southeast of Tehran, was "baseless."
