2 UN Inspectors Barred from Entering Iran

The head of Iran's nuclear energy agency says two United Nations inspectors have been barred from entering Iran for presenting what he described as "false information" on Iran's nuclear work.

The Iranian Students News Agency quoted Ali Akbar Salehi Monday as saying the two International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors will not be allowed into Iran to visit its nuclear facilities.

Salehi accused the officials of disclosing information before it had been officially examined and filing a false report. He did not give details.

The move comes after the U.N. Security Council voted to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran for a nuclear program Western countries suspect is aimed at building weapons.  Iran says its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes.
