VIENNA (Reuters) – The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog urged Iran on Tuesday to allow agency experts to return to a military site called Parchin, which they inspected once but have since been barred from returning to.
"I would also ask Iran to support the agency”s efforts to pursue further its investigation of the Lavizan-Shian and Parchin sites," Mohamed ElBaradei said in a statement, saying that his agency wanted to visit "areas of interest" at Parchin.
Parchin and Lavizan are among the sites where the United States suspects Iranian scientists have conducted research related to the development of nuclear weapons.
