UN inspectors visit Iran nuke facility
United Nations inspectors arrived in Iran yesterday for a three-day visit of its recently-disclosed uranium enrichment facility. The visit comes after Iran said Friday that it needs more time to consider a deal to send their uranium stockpiles out of the country for monitored enrichment. We’re joined by Jon Leyne, BBC Tehran correspondent, and Scott Ritter, former chief weapons inspector for the U.N. Special Commission in Iraq, who tells us about the importance of the inspections.
