Iran Will Inspect Its Own Military Site: Officials

Iran will inspect itself at its most sensitive known military complex to clear up suspicions of past military activity, NBC News has confirmed.

Iran is required to "close the file" on past military dimensions of its nuclear program before it can get sanctions relief and proceed with the long-term nuclear deal negotiated in Vienna.

But, Wednesday night, two senior U.S. officials told NBC News that the unusual arrangement between the IAEA and Tehran relates only to past military activity and that UN inspectors, including IAEA Director Yukiya Amano, would be on site to supervise the Iranians at every step of the way.

Now that claim is being disputed by a senator who opposes the deal and attended classified briefings on the IAEA's role at the Parchin complex southeast of Tehran.
