Iran has agreed to allow UN inspectors to view its nuclear facility at Parchin which U.S. officials suspect is being used for both civilian and military programs. The visit is scheduled to take place in the next few days or weeks.

The United States and other nations believe that while Iran is using nuclear technology for civilian purposes, it is simaltaneously investigating the military uses of the same power. American officials believe the site at Parchin is being used to research the use of explosives and other military capabilities.

The European Union has tried to use diplomacy to get inspections done by the UN and to limit Irans nuclear ambitions. The United States has tried to take a tougher stance on a nation the Bush Administration considers a part of the 'Axis of Evil.'
