The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is continuing to fault Iran, and centering on Iran refusing to allow them to visit a handful of “sites of interest.” The IAEA insists they have questions about the three sites.
Though the IAEA has been very non-specific about its questions, these sites were “uncovered” in Israeli-made allegations, and it is only because the US keeps harping on them to investigate what Israel says that it ever got to them asking for access.
The problems are multiple, as this is putative activity that happened in 2003 and 2004 at sites that aren’t even alleged to be active. Iran had given access to the sites before, the IAEA found nothing, but claimed to have more questions, which they eventually built up into wanting to go back to them.
But IAEA inspections have a nasty tendency to leak intelligence from Iran to the US, and since giving the IAEA access before didn’t work, giving them more access means there is no assurance Iran can resolve anything, if the IAEA is determined to keep digging.
Bad faith by the US, from reneging on the Agreement to the manipulation of the IAEA. Nobody is fooled. The US is just digging a deeper hole for itself.
The IAEA and the US want to have their cake and eat it too.
They are not fooling anyone with their antics.
Throw IAEA out of the country .Dont allow the lap dog any access .
How about allowing IAEA access to Israels nuclear sites!
Who has Israel said they will destroy ?
They have bombed every state in the neighborhood.
Who has Iran actually attacked in the past 200 years? Hint: no one.
That’s not war that F 16 was not a jet . Those destroyed Syrian towns are pictures out of Hollywood movies made in N Africa . Actually there is no Israel. There has never been any Six day war or any PNAC and absolutely no FDD. Actually Kushner doesn’t even exist .
This is a narrative made out of a protocol. Extreme example of anti something .
Trump threatened to obliterate Iran several times. Those threats were bought by Shelden Adelson. Need I connect the dots?
Seriously. Israel is not 51sr state, but first among them.
IAEA should be telling the wussie European and US signatories to the JCPOA to honor the agreement by lifting all sanctions against Iran.
The IAEA should be booted out and only allowed back in when the US is willing to rejoin the JCPOA. Until then, GTFO.
Why do many people think we should return the JOPCA deal and argue with Iran every day . Trump is right just keep tightening the screws on Iran until they collapse
But Trump ‘s US is always ending up tightening the screw on itself and loosening the screws on Israel. It is not sustainable It is not possible to continue for a nation whose foreign wars and whose engineered -inequality- autocracy -poverty abroad are washing up on its own beaches and showing up in small villages and little known towns .
We weren’t arguing with Iran every day until Trump took office. Iran is absolutely no threat to us. And how many people will die if Trump “just” keeps tightening those screws? Wouldn’t Jesus be pissed? Thou shalt not kill unless of course if you are trying to bring a country to its knees by destroying them thru sanctions.
IAEA inspections have a nasty tendency of planting evidences, sharing personal information of scientist and getting them killed .
Of course, it was just a matter of time for NATO gang to find a way to control the Agency. The same way they manipulated and eventually snatched control over Organization for control if chemical weapons.
UN is structured to give NATO control over UN Security Council, and with it control over many wold bodies. If by accident some end up with more integrity then desirable — there are ways to deal with it. Today, it is WHO. And we cheer.
It will be a major defeat for Trump and Netanyahu if there is no regime change in Iran soon.
What hypocrisy. Why don’t they inspect the USA, Israel and the MIC?
Why not the EU? I noticed you don’t mention the largest political and military bloc on earth? Why is that?
Dear Ameer, do you take medication? The MIC is the good’ol US of A. Which is in turn the largest military bloc on earth. Not feeling well, are we?
IAEA is afraid of defunded by Trump . It’s has grounds to be worried .
Actually no one gives a shit anymore about who gets nuclear weapon . No one will step up to prop this organization.
Israel does . But it can’t and will not waste its money on anyone let alone IAEA. So it has US to pay for it . IAEA should not worry of funding as long as the results stay within the limits allowed by Israel.
Israel, a non-signatory to the NPT, has some chutzpah to “uncover” anything on behalf of the IAEA.
