Iran on Sunday declared itself optimistic about a UN experts’ visit aimed at probing suspected military aspects of its nuclear work and lawmakers postponed debate on a proposed halt to oil flows to the European Union watched closely in energy markets.
A team of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors began a three-day visit to try to advance efforts to resolve a row about nuclear work which Iran says is for making electricity but the West suspects is aimed at seeking a nuclear weapon.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said, “We are very optimistic about the outcome of the IAEA delegation’s visit to Iran.” But parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, warned the IAEA, “This visit is a test for the IAEA.”
