Iran has agreed after several months to allow UN inspections of a military site where Washington believes work linked to nuclear bomb-making was carried out, the UN nuclear watchdog said today.

"We are going to visit Parchin in the next few days or weeks," Dr Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said.

He said the agency was working out the details of the visit with Iran .
