Nuclear lab grope grubs

The UN atomic energy watchdog has accused Iran of physically harassing its female staff when they made inspection tours of the country’s nuclear facilities.

Security guards were said to have inappropriately touched women who were in a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency inspecting the Natanz facility, the main centre for enriching uranium. The guards, who were male, also demanded that the women remove some of their clothing, according to one report.

“There have been some incidents related to security checks of inspectors at one Iranian facility,” the IAEA said.
