IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Sept 13, IRNA -- Spokesman of the Iranian delegation to the 
sixth session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran, Hossein Moussavian here Monday rejected 
some media reports on Parchin site southwest of Tehran. 
In an exclusive interview with IRNA held before the inaugural 
session of the Board of Governors, Moussavian stressed that the IAEA 
has not yet called for a visit to the Iranian site of Parchin near 
Tehran. 
Iran`s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said on Sunday 
that the IAEA request to visit one of Iran`s main military sites, 
Parchin, had only been the subject of "preliminary discussions" after 
diplomats in Vienna said Iran was holding out on allowing inspector 
access to the site. 
Parchin, 30 kms (18 miles) southwest of Tehran, is a site for a 
variety of defense projects.
