IAEA chief Rafael Grossi is visiting Tehran on Monday, in a move Iranian officials say is meant to strengthen ties, and which Grossi says aims to address “the issue of access” to a pair of putative nuclear sites.
The sites in question are a pair of sites that the IAEA has claimed might have been nuclear sites, based on Israeli allegations and US backing of Israeli allegations. The US has pushed the IAEA to investigate the sites.
Iran did grant the IAEA access before, and it didn’t find anything definitive one way or another. They’ve kept asking for extra visits, even though Iran insisted neither was relevant to their nuclear program, and that letting them just keep visiting keeps it unresolved forever.
This puts things in an endless loop, where the US will ensure the IAEA keeps saying the issue is open, and Iran can’t resolve the matter outright, and has to just keep responding or be accused of a coverup.
“based on Israeli allegations and US backing of Israeli allegations.”
When you read the headline you knew that this would be part of the article.
Obviously these tyrants have something to hide.
It is about time Israel was “forced” to have visits from the IAEA, but that will never happen. What a twisted world we live in.
When you are the regions main sponsor of terrorism which Iran clearly is you have to watch every move they make.
The regions main sponsor of terror are the Saudis. The vast majority of terrorist groups are Sunni. I don’t include Israel because they don’t sponsor terrorism. They do it themselves and then brag about it.
Don’t leave out our terror groups, the “rebels”. We have our own proxy warriors out there.
Under the NPT, which Iran signed in 1968, ratified in 1970, Iran can enrich for peaceful purposes, The IAEA has been to Iran many times through the years. With pressure being made on the IAEA by Israel and the U.S., it would be prudent for Iran not to trust anyone. Even IAEA “Personnel”.
