The White House, says the US will demand, that Iran give IAEA inspectors unfettered access to its uranium enrichment facility in Qom, at upcoming six-nation talks in Geneva.

The White House, says the plant violates Iran's obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, said, "I think the onus is on the Iranians to show the world that the programme they have is a peaceful programme to create energy rather than a secret programme for nuclear weapons. We will demand that IAEA inspectors have unfettered access to the facility, to personnel, to documents surrounding the facility."
