UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran inspections agreement 'terribly difficult'

The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, said Friday that reaching an accord with Iran on inspections of its processing facilities was possible but "terribly difficult."

The International Atomic Energy Agency director general told the Munich Security Conference that inspectors had returned to Iran after attacks by Israeli and U.S. forces last year, but had not been able to visit any of the sites that were targeted.
