TEHRAN, Aug 6 (AFP): A team of experts from the UN atomic energy agency arrived in Iran Monday to agree on a plan for future inspections of its uranium enrichment plant, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
"A four-member technical team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Tehran Monday. They will meet Iranian atomic energy organsation officials this afternoon," an official, who was not named, told the agency.
The talks are aimed at agreeing a framework for future inspections of the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz in central Iran, the country's most sensitive nuclear site.
World powers want Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment activities, which they fear could be diverted to make nuclear weapons. Iran insists that its nuclear programme is peaceful.
