A team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Tehran on Saturday, another step towards implementing a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers which was finalized last week, according to the semi-official Fars News agency.
The team, led by nuclear engineer Massimo Aparo, will begin reporting to the IAEA on Monday, marking the official start of the deal, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.
Under the terms of the agreement with the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany,
Iran will stop work on some portions of its nuclear program in exchange
for relief from some international sanctions which have damaged the
country's economy.
