Iran nuclear deal: IAEA head visits Parchin site

21 September 2015 Asia

Yukiya Amano, the head of the global nuclear watchdog the IAEA, has visited Iran's Parchin military site.

Western intelligence agencies have long suspected that nuclear arms research took place at Parchin.

Iran has denied this and insists its nuclear programme is purely peaceful.

Mr Amano arrived in Iran on Sunday. His visit is seen by Western diplomats as key to the implementation of a recent deal with world powers over Iran's nuclear programme.

International inspectors have previously only had limited access to the complex.
