Iran Sets Conditions for IAEA Team to See Parchin Military Site

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it will consider allowing International Atomic Energy Agency officials to inspect a military site suspected of housing nuclear work once the country’s right to enrich uranium is recognized by Western powers.

“If we reach an agreement where Iran’s nuclear rights are fully recognized, meaning the right to possess nuclear science and the full nuclear cycle toward peaceful goals, Iran will be ready to take necessary measures to allay concerns expressed by the IAEA,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters in Tehran today. He was responding to a question about whether the agency would be given access to the Parchin military complex and whether Iran would impose any conditions for the visit.
