The UN's nuclear watchdog will inspect Iran's newly revealed uranium enrichment plant on October the 25th. The announcement, made by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed El-Baradei, came on Sunday after his meetings with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other officials, in Tehran.

The IAEA chief made the announcement about the inspection at a joint press conference in Tehran with Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

ElBaradei commented there is a "shifting of gears" in Iran's confrontation with the West towards more co-operation and transparency.

He said the nuclear watchdog has no concrete proof of an ongoing weapons program in Iran. But he added the IAEA has "concerns about Iran's future intentions."
