US alarm over Iranian 'nuclear site'

The US expressed alarm today about a possible Iranian nuclear weapons related test site and accused the UN nuclear watchdog agency of keeping silent on its own concerns about the issue.

A senior member of the US delegation at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors said Washington was suspicious that Iran’s Parchin complex, south-east of the capital, Tehran, is being used by the Islamic Republic to test high explosives, possibly with applications to nuclear weapons.
