A group of United Nations nuclear inspectors has arrived in Tehran to determine whether Iran has fulfilled its commitments to halt its uranium enrichment program. Mohammad Saidi, a senior official in Iran's nuclear program, stated that five inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will raise some of the agency's concerns, including reviewing Tehran's recent commitment to cease the construction and installation of centrifuges used for uranium enrichment. On March 29, Iranian officials announced that Iran had stopped building centrifuges, but later, last Tuesday, Iranian officials informed Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the IAEA, during his visit to Iran that the country would halt it on April 9. Several countries around the world, including the United States, have accused Iran of attempting to conceal its nuclear weapons program. Iran claims that its nuclear program is solely for the peaceful production of electricity.
