IAEA Can Visit Any Iranian Atomic Facility, Foreign Minister Says

International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards chief Herman Nackaerts prepares to depart for Iran from Austria’s Vienna International Airport on Saturday. Iran would make all of its nuclear facilities available for examination by a visiting IAEA team led by Nackaerts, the country’s foreign minister said on Sunday (AP Photo/Ronald Zak). Iran's top diplomat on Sunday said his country would permit a high-level delegation of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to travel to any Iranian atomic installation during a trip this week, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported (see GSN, Jan. 27).
"The IAEA officials will be allowed to inspect any nuclear site they request from us," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said in remarks reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency.
