The International atomic energy agency arrived in Iran on sunday and is said to stay through tuesday. The top officials are part of a team to inspect Irans Nuclear ambitions. Iran is suspected of attempting to develop nuclear powers, against international law. six member of the IAEA including chief inspector are in Iran trying to "clarify the issues with possible military dimensions." Iran denies any accusations of tyring to develop nuclear weapons. Iran also states its hope that this inspection will prove their transparency and clear up any ambiguity. As of recently the sanctions placed on Iran from the US and Australia and the announcment that the EU will no longer import Iranian oil are increased international efforts to halt any nuclear production from Iran. Iran comes back and states they will no longer export oil to "certain countries" so it will be interesting to see how this situation turns out.
