UN nuclear experts arrived in Iran on Saturday after Tehran promised answers to questions about work the UN fears could be linked to atomic “weaponisation,” Western diplomats said.

Separately, two diplomats said Tehran had begun operating 10 uranium enrichment centrifuges at its Natanz plant in central Iran, meaning the production small-scale uranium fuel has started.
