UN team arrives in Tehran to oversee implementation of nuclear deal.

Tehran, Jan 18:

Inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Tehran today to oversee the implementation of a landmark deal that puts temporary curbs on Iran’s nuclear programme, state media has reported.

The team is led by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Iran task force, Massimo Aparo, and will hold talks with Iranian nuclear officials, IRNA news agency said.

Accord on nuclear deal

It is tasked with reporting back to the Vienna-based agency on the steps Tehran has to take under the deal agreed in November and finalised last week between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers.

Clinched after years of fruitless negotiations, the accord is to come into effect on January 20 and will last for six months during which Iran — among other obligations — must limit its enrichment of uranium to five per cent.
