TEHRAN, Iran ? Five U.N. weapons inspectors arrived in Iran to visit uranium enrichment and reprocessing plants, Iranian media reported Saturday ? a visit Iran hoped would prove its nuclear intentions are peaceful."

The visit by the inspectors for the International Atomic Energy Agency was the first since Iran announced in mid-February that it was suspending surprise inspections and removing agency cameras from some nuclear facilities.

Iran's deputy nuclear chief, Mohammed Saeedi, said the inspectors would begin their work at the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility in central Iran on Sunday, followed by a visit to the Natanz uranium enrichment plant.
