As Russian negotiators continue with the efforts to restart the P5+1 talks, Iran’s envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Iran allowed an IAEA team, including the top inspector, full access to their nuclear sites.
The tour over the past five days included trips to the Bushehr power plant, the enrichment sites at Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordo, and the research facility at Arak.
European officials were quick to condemn the access, saying “one-off openness isn’t enough” and that it probably didn’t indicate an actual change in policy by the Iranian government.
Indeed it may not, as Iran has been pretty straightforward at allowing the IAEA access to its nuclear sites, allowing the agency to repeatedly verify the non-diversion of nuclear material to any but civilian purposes.
My question to the USA and the European powers is, if Iran cannot be trusted with developing isotope enrichment for peaceful purposes under the auspices of IAEA, should they be allowed to operate molecular biology labs. As a biophysicist, I can use a molecular biology lab to make a much more dangerous stelth DNA vector for targeting specific ethnic groups with relative ease. Why shouldn't Iran be deprived of all modern sciences if their motives are so untrustwothy?
Excellent point but the nuclear "bogey-man" meme is what they've been harping on for all these years.
The Zionists / Israel demands war with Iran and we will have war with Iran NO matter what.
As writing is on the wall, it does not matter what they do , they are going to be attacked.
As they did to Iraq they are trying to verifier if it is weak enough to be attacked.
If I was in their shoes, I would not allow inspections of any sort. Let them do their worst.
Why doesn't the IAEA inspect nuclear sites in the US and Europe? I'm sure America has lots of secret sites and labs developing all kinds of dangerous weapons, materials and God knows what for the very purpose of war and destruction.
I agree 100%, but while they are at it, they should also visit Dimona.
Bingo! Just read the USA Today rag this afternoon and sure enough there is the usual "report" in there with all the sabre rattling and loaded words. Nowhere do you see mention of Dimona. Of course!
and has used them, sometimes on their own citizens.
Not to worry, the Zionist Hasbara Machine will quickly turn this into a resounding "Iran refuses IAEA inspectors in" and blah blah blah. Have faith, oh hear, hear ye, have faith in the power of the lies.
Well, "one-off openness" is 100% more than what Israel has to offer, apart from the fact that Iran has allowed inspectors in on numerous occasions. What about israel?
When is the IAEA going into the USA? WBush went against IAEA rules when he helped India's illegal nuclear weapons program. Israel of course is not a signatory, like India and pakistan, but the USA is.
Waaaaaaaaaaaa. we don't want inspectors, Iran doesn't play fair waaaaaaaa.
Just look at Iraq — hundreds of thousands dead, millions forced into exile, the country in ruins and every form of misery imposed upon innocent people. Now these thugs want to do the same thing in Iran.
These people are genocidal maniacs.
When is Israel going to let them in?
The EU should be more worried about that particularly as it is reliably reported that Israel has warheads aimed at all European capitols to ensure 'compliance'.
good luck with that, they wouldn't even report in MSM that so many of the Congressmen who had something to say about Obama's vacation are descending on Israel as we speak to receive their marching orders.
They would nuke all of Europe before China and Russia could turn it into a glass parking lot
Israel is The chosen land that belongs to the children of promise but the Jews who say they are Jews lie & but are the Synagoge of Satan. They will be made to bow down to the remnant of Jacob and know the the Lord God of Israel loves the Serbs the Olive tree and the Mustard seed which has grown into the greatest of shrubs where the eagles ( Angels) make their nest!
Kosovo the grave of earthly kings! NATO, Hades has opened her mouth! and is ravens for you! The An0gel of death ( Grim Reaper) cometh! Seven Heads and a Mortal wound!

Gud friggen loock…!!
The sites that the the EU has been demanding access to, fall OUTSIDE of the IAEA's authority. Iran has now allowed access, so the EU once again moves the goalposts. Why? Because this conflict really has nothing to do with nukes – that's just a pretext just as "WMDs in IRaq" was a pretext.
YUP you got that right !
They can lie all they want smart citizens no America and Israel and for that matter Britan are trying to lie and scare people into an illegal war just like Iraq and for that matter Afganistan and Pakistan and others.You attack Iran and you will be bitting off more than you can handel.Attack Iran and you will be at war with Russia,China,North korea,Pakistan,Syria,plus the hole mid east besides Sadi Arabia.And many others and many have nucular weapons it will turn into WW3 but that maybe what they want.Sickos.
Why are Americans so gullible and eager to let a bunch of corporatist warmongers and neocons wrap themselves in an American flag while carrying a cross and lead them into unnecessary war against Iran for the interests of Israel?
Israel is an anti-Christian state. Christians who support Israel's murder, torture, mass killings of innocents and theft of property are a divided house. A divided house will fall.
God did not say stealing and murder is wrong except for when done by Jews against Palestinians. Anyone who supports this theft and murder does not support Christianity.
You just can't please political puppets. And as lizzie said on the comment above they move the goalposts once again. It's never enough.
Why would anyone even listen to US EU reps! They are all together become unprofitable! The power in the world is shifting East and The US & Europe are just paper tigers with big lying tonGues! Kosovo je Metohija and Metohija is for the sons of Serbija! The Kingdom of many kings and preists is coming! The Kingdom which smashes all other kingdoms on the earth! __Regent to the Throne of Serbija and servent to his HRH Crown Prince Alexander II of Jugoslavija in Exile! Sasha Glisovic (Alexander Glisovich) ahve a nice day!
And I stood upon the sand of the sea a saw a beast like unto a leopard( Persia) with Bears (Russia) feet and a mouth of a Lion( Anglo-American) seeking to devour! The man of Sin is Reaveled in the New world Order The man of lawlessness! Out of my mouth is comes a two edged sword to smite the Gentiles! I was born in 1965 two years later Jersalem was returned to the children Israel! in 6 days!
Yaa returned…..mmmmmmm Sure if U say sooo
I have to agree with the position that no matter what Iran does it won't be good enough or open enough or honest enough. What I'd like to see, though, is the criteria by which the War Party and its lackeys are judging Iran by- or IS there even such a criteria? Or is it pretty much Iran is screwed no matter what, just because someone (I'm looking at you, Israel) says they're bad and need to die?
I'm going to have to take Iran's side on this. No, I don't believe they're completely innocent of everything- what nation is innocent these days? – and no, I don't want to go live there- BUT when I see a frame-up, no matter who it's directed against, I'll call it like I see it. Sadly, this particular frame-up is going to result in many, many needless deaths before it's over.
