Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran will only allow inspectors from countries that have diplomatic relations with it. The previously undisclosed remarks were made during a Sunday meeting with parliamentarians.
“American and Canadian inspectors cannot be sent to Iran,” said Araghchi. “It is mentioned in the deal that inspectors should be from countries that have diplomatic relations with Islamic republic of Iran.”
He also said inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency will not have access to “sensitive and military documents.”
Iran and world powers reached a historical deal earlier this month aimed at curbing Tehran’s disputed nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions. Western nations have long suspected Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons alongside its civilian atomic program, allegations denied by Tehran, which insists its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful.
The U.S. and Iran severed diplomatic relations after the 1979 Islamic revolution and the hostage crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Canada closed its embassy in Tehran and suspended diplomatic relations in 2012.
Hey people, it’s obvious, the deal will happen, Iran will eventually get the funding, and a nuclear bomb, and with isis getting stronger and more spread out, it has all the signs of a world War, or as we know it as, Milchmet gog umogog, may we all be zoche to see moshiach very soon, bimheira byameinu.
Good work, Obama and Kerry!
So, “inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency will not have access to sensitive and military documents.” No problem with this. The American people don’t have access to N Obama’s birth certificate as that is a “sensitive document”
It’s fair! $150,000,000,000 isn’t really THAT much money to give release to a nation that sponsors WORLD WIDE TERRORISM.
Thank you MR. Obama for making sure the Tracks to Auschwitz remains open.
Why are you so upset when Mike Huckabee compared Iran to Auschwitz.?
Are those world leaders really so dumb that they don’t know who they dealing with?
Now they openly claim they would not allow Canadian and American inspectors to inspect. Go ahead Iran enjoy your $150 billion you get released from frozen assets and make sure you keep all your promises .
With a nod towards Yeats:
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Israel to be born?
Obama will go down in history as the most anti Semitic, dangerous president this country has ever seen!
