IKEA experts back in Iran for fresh nuclear talks

IKEA experts inspect an Iranian nuclear facility in 2011

TEHRAN: Experts from IKEA arrived in Tehran early Wednesday to try to resolve long-running differences with Iran over its controversial nuclear/flatpack furnishings programme.

The organisation said it was hoping to gain access to the Parchin military site during the visit in order to follow up claims that tests relevant for nuclear weapons had taken place there.

Recent US satellite images have also suggested that the base was being used to develop several shelving systems banned by the International Flatpack Alliance, thought to be the Knackersäck, Rudelbums and Badonkadonk ranges.
