Iran hosts tour of nuclear plant
By Pam O'Toole
BBC News
Isfahan nuclear facility in Iran
Iran has refused to halt enrichment of uranium
A group of ambassadors from non-aligned countries is due to arrive in Iran for what is being billed as a transparency visit to Iran's nuclear facilities.
It is the first such trip since the UN imposed limited sanctions on Iran in December for refusing to suspend its uranium enrichment programme.
The UN's chief nuclear inspector is to report on Iran's compliance with the Security Council's demands this month.
Some countries suspect Iran of secretly trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran insists on its right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium on its own soil for what it says is a peaceful nuclear programme.
Surveillance cameras
Details of the delegation's itinerary have not been officially released, but the Iranian media say the group is expected to visit Iran's uranium conversion plant at Isfahan.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Mr Ahmadinejad is to announce important news on the nuclear front
Iran resumed sensitive uranium conversion work at Isfahan in 2005.
The trip is intended to demonstrate the openness of Iran's nuclear programme, at a time when Tehran is under increasing pressure from the international community.
Iran insists that it is continuing to co-operate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), despite recently barring 38 of the agency's inspectors from entering the country.
On Friday an Iranian official denied reports that Tehran had prevented the IAEA installing surveillance cameras at its uranium enrichment plant at Natanz.
It is Natanz that is attracting most international attention at the moment.
Tehran has frequently said it intends to install 3,000 centrifuges there, stepping up its controversial uranium enrichment programme in defiance of UN Security Council calls for a suspension.
And the country's hardline president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said recently that he would soon be announcing some important news on the nuclear front.
There has been speculation he might make an announcement during celebrations to mark the 28th anniversary of Iran's Islamic Revolution, which reach a peak on 11 February.
