Iran to let UN inspect mine for first time in 8 years

Iran will set a date for a UN nuclear inspection of a uranium mine, an Iranian envoy said before talks on Wednesday between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Under a cooperation pact signed last month to help allay international concern about Iran's nuclear program, the Islamic Republic would provide "managed access" to the Gchine mine by early February for the first time in some eight years. (Reuters)
