Inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog returned to Tehran yesterday for talks on Iran�s disputed nuclear programme, but there was no sign they would gain access to the Parchin military complex as requested.
The Iranian Students News Agency said �no plans were announced yet for inspectors to visit Iran�s nuclear facilities or other sites�, without giving a source.

The inspectors� return coincided with a new assessment by the Institute for Science and International Security, a US-based NGO devoted to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.

�The latest commercial satellite imagery from the alleged Parchin high-explosive test site in Iran shows a steady pace of what appears to be the �reconstruction� phase of the site which, between April and July 2012, had undergone considerable alterations,� the institute said.

�The latest imagery from December 9th, 2012, shows what appears to be a new almost completed security perimeter around the site.�

The meeting could give some indication whether

Iran is more willing to�address international concerns over its nuclear programme after US president Barack Obama�s re-election last month.
