Iran Agrees to Grant UN Inspectors More Power

Iran, a country located in the Middle East, is rapidly developing their nuclear technology. Because the United Nations is fearful of what the Iranians may do with their new technology, they have pursued inspection opportunities for several years. Just recently the Iranians agreed to grant the UN more inspection power at their plant in Arak – a key water facility. This will limit Iranian ability to develop certain kinds of nuclear technology/reactors at one of the key research and development centers in the country.
