Iran will accept snap visits of its nuclear sites

Irans top negotiator said on Wednesday that a nuclear proposal presented to major powers in Geneva does allow for snap inspections of the Islamic republics nuclear facilities, correcting his earlier remarks.
None of these issues exist in the first step, but they are part of our last step, Abbas Araqchi was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA.

He was replying to a question about whether the application of the additional protocol to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which allows unannounced inspections of Irans nuclear sites, was included in the proposal.

Araqchi had on Tuesday been cited by IRNA as saying the implementation of the additional protocol does not exist in the offer.

The additional protocol allows reinforced and unannounced inspections of a countrys nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency and requires that information be provided on all activities regarding the nuclear fuel cycle.

As it stands now, Iran is only obliged to inform the IAEA three months ahead of transferring fissile material into the nuclear site.
