Video: UN inspectors arrive

A team of UN weapons inspectors is in Iran to visit the country's recently revealed nuclear facility in the city of Qom.

Their mission is to establish that the unfinished plant will be used for civilian purposes and not for weapons-grade uranium enrichment.

The visit comes as Tehran considers an International Atomic Energy Agency proposal to ship its uranium abroad for refinement.

Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports from Tehran.
