Reflecting similar statements made by his deputy, Herman Nackaerts, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretary General Amano Yukiya expressed concern about the possibility of the IAEA being given access to Iran’s Parchin military facility and not finding anything.
The IAEA last searched Parchin in 2005, finding nothing but demanding further access. Under its safeguards agreement, Iran is under no obligation to provide access to military sites that are not nuclear in nature.
The IAEA has been pressing for another shot at Parchin for the past year and a half, though Iran has complained that past inspections have seen confidential information leaked to other nations, and that giving IAEA inspectors access to a key site in their conventional military program was tantamount to letting a team of Western spies in.
IAEA officials are already anticipating not finding anything at Parchin, and are setting up the narrative that whatever isn’t there is because Iran secretly moved things around.
In spite of this, the latest IAEA report is said to include the exact same language it has for years, confirming the non-diversion of material from Iran’s legal civilian program to any covert use.
I have a question for this blabbering tool, are you afraid that Iran's nuclear facilities are for peaceful purposes?
I really do not understand this.
The IAEA has become completely obsolete – that is, for independently monitoring and safeguarding the development od nuclear power.
Iran would do best to completely ignore them and skip the non-proliferation treaty Hell, what is it good for anyway, if you look at India, Pakistan, Israel etc doing just fine b simply ignoring it?
If they find nothing, it will taken as proof of Iran's deception – hiding weapons that the west knows for certain are there </sarcasm>
The IAEA was politicized, by Bush, firstly the IAEA doesn't even report to the Security council it reports to the General assembly or at least it used to!
Fact is the Iranians are compliant with the NPT, the IAEA consistently report total compliance, yet the IAEA continues with the prove the negative argument, IF you are NOT making bombs prove it! Sort of like asking a man is he secretly coveting his neighbors wife! There is however the very disturbing practice of the IAEA going to Israel, now we KNOW that the Israelis are not signatories to the NPT and they are not allowing the IAEA access to Israeli facilities, SO WHY ARE THEY GOING THERE? Why is the IAEA even talking to Israel except to demand access and the signing of the NPT!
As the Rock would say, "It doesn't matter what you say"!! The US and Israel are not really interested in the findings.
Amano should be fired. Someone, in his position, that says that is possible to complete clean-up a nuclear site is a moron or a liar.
As I said here at antiwar.com when Amano Yukiya was appointed head of the IAEA, the sole reason for having this man where he is to ensure that Iran is somehow indicted for manufacturing nuclear weapons. Therefore, it is hardly shocking that he is sweating to come up with something credible enough for his puppet masters in DC to use. The only question I have is how much pressure is being put on this tool to get the desired results.
