Iran's nuclear ambitions will again be in the spotlight when the UN atomic watchdog meets next week to discuss if Iranian scientists have used a military base for illicit nuclear weapons tests, Trend reported.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a damning report last November saying Iranian scientists had possibly carried out weapons tests at the base in Parchin, near Tehran, since 2003.
A demand for fast and unconditional access to the base will form the crux of discussions when the IAEA's 35-member board meets behind closed doors at its Vienna headquarters for a week from Monday.
The agency's chief inspector Herman Nackaerts on Wednesday showed satellite images dated May 25 showing two small buildings at Parchin that had been recently razed to the ground, according to Western diplomats.
