Hell, Iran is doing their own damned inspections.
Lies, lies and more lies from the peanut gallery. Thanks Dave.
A senior State Department official said that the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, would have "total oversight" of sampling and inspections of Parchin under the agreement between the agency and Iran over access to the site.
"Iran is not self-inspecting," the official said, though this official would not deny that Iranian inspectors will "play a role."
It seems likely that IAEA staff would either be present or watching via video camera when the Iranians take samples from the site, a practice that the international nuclear agency has used in previous inspections agreements.
A senior administration official, meanwhile, said that while Iranians may be taking the samples at Parchin, individuals from other countries will be a part of their analysis. The official noted that the arrangement satisfies the demands of the IAEA.
The official stressed that the arrangement for Parchin is an entirely separate arrangement from investigations of other Iranian nuclear sites with possible military dimensions: They're a "totally different ballgame."
The other sites that are part of the inspections regime under a deal between Iran and world powers reached in July -- with the IAEA as the instrument for determining the protocol and carrying out those inspections -- are open to inspectors 24/7, the official noted.
The examination of Parchin is part of the agency's inquiry into past nuclear activity, as opposed to inspections of other nuclear sites under the deal, which are more focused on ongoing work.
The specifics of the deal between the IAEA and Iran over the Parchin inspections are not included in the nuclear agreement, but Iran is required to satisfy the IAEA's concerns about its program under that deal.
