VIENNA (AP) — A new U.N. effort to probe suspicions that Iran worked on atomic arms ended on a downbeat note Thursday, with diplomats saying that Tehran refused entry to Iran to a U.S. nuclear expert on the U.N.’s investigating team.

The diplomats also said that the trip this week didn’t succeed in advancing a decade of U.N. efforts to investigate suspicions that Tehran worked on such weapons.
