Early this Sunday morning, International officials arrived in Tehran, Iran to inspect a new nuclear facility . THE IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) will also visit to make sure that the site is being used for peaceful purposes said Ali Akbar Salehi, head of IAEA. The visit will last for three days but it will not be the end of the inspection because officials needs more time to asses the situation and to sign onto a deal that could to eventually end the international showdown over its nuclear activities. IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei was informed by Iran that they were "considering the proposal in depth and in a favorable light, but it needs until the middle of next week to provide a response." Officials from Iran, France, Russia and the US met with the IAEA in Vienna this week to iron out the details of the the deal that was decided upon in early October. So far, France, Russia and the US have approved their arrangement. However when the second facility near Qom was found, the international community was shocked and feared that Iran is after all still in the pursuit for nuclear weapons regardless of what Iranian officials claim.
