Herman Nackaerts (R), head of a delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), arrives from Iran next to delegates Raphael Grossi (L) and Laura Rockwook at the airport in Vienna February 22, 2012. The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday it had failed to secure an agreement with Iran during talks over disputed atomic activities and that the Islamic Republic had rejected a request to visit a military site. The team from the IAEA had hoped to inspect a site at Parchin, southeast of the capital Tehran, where the agency believes there is a containment chamber to test explosives, suggesting possible weapon development. Iran has denied the charge that it is developing nuclear weapons. REUTERS/Herwig PrammerReuters - The U.N. nuclear watchdog's latest mission to Iran failed to budge a defiant Tehran over its disputed nuclear program, sending oil prices to a nine-month high over fears of an increasing risk of confrontation with the West.
