In a latest report on Tuesday, the International nuclear inspectors sent to collect latest status about Iran’s nuclear program have left the country without any success. The IAEA team (International Atomic Energy agency), reportedly have spent two days trying to persuade authorities in Tehran but failed as they were denied entry to its military base at Parchin. This is the second time Iran has denied UN nuclear inspection. The agency would announce its latest report on Iran’s nuclear program in the coming week.
West suspects Iran of using the site for building nuclear weapons. On its part, Iran has repeatedly claimed that its nuclear programs are meant for only civilian purposes. Iran has justified its present stand stating that in the past it has allowed access to its nuclear-related site. But since Parchin was its military base, it is off limit to outsiders.
Iran’s denial to International inspection is likely to escalate tension in the region. The tension is further heightened by the fact that Iran has also threatened to strike first in case of possible external attack from its enemies to protect its national interest.
