GlobalOfficials from the United Nations nuclear agency are in Tehran for talks aimed at allaying concerns that Tehran is seeking a nuclear weapon.
The visit, which began on Sunday, comes at a time of heightened tension between Iran and the West. It remains unclear whether the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team, headed by chief inspector Herman Nackaerts, would inspect nuclear sites or just discuss with Iranian officials possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme.
"We will, however, not withdraw from our nuclear rights as we have constantly acted within international regulations and in line with the laws of the non-proliferation treaty"
- Ali-Akbar Velayati, adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran
