Iran to offer nuclear tours – strange though it may seem!
Iran’s state news agency said on Wednesday that Rahim Mashaii, the Head of Esfandyar, Iran’s tourism and cultural heritage organisation, was quoted as saying that foreign tourists can visit Iranian nuclear sites, after the country’s leader Dr.Ahmadinejad issued an authorisation ordering the organisation to study ways to do so.
No details were given on the nature of the visits that would be allowed or when it would become legal for tourists to take a trip to one of the facilities, but possible attractions for tourists would include the uranium conversion facility outside Isfahan, the uranium enrichment plant in Natanz or the Islamic republic’s first nuclear plant being built in the southern city of Bushehr.
So far, only the United Nations atomic inspectors and reporters have been allowed to visit the sites and Rahim Mashaii said, “This authorisation has been issued since the Iranian nuclear activities are peaceful.”
The move comes amid a growing push from the United States for Iran to appear before the UN Security Council for possible sanctions over its nuclear programme, which Washington alleges masks a weapons drive.
