Inspectors So Far Denied Access to Iran’s Scientists
Keywords:
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, Yukiya Amano, answers questions in a closed door 90 minute meeting with the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The IAEA chief says he cannot disclose details of his investigation into Iran's earlier weapons activities, or the agency's agreement with Iran for the inspection of nuclear facilities. Senator Corker who heads the committee said most senators left the meeting with greater concerns about the inspection process. The IAEA chief cited as reasons for the secrecy, independence of the agency, and what he called "a legal obligation" to protect confidential information. Senator Barroso described the process as one in which an NFL player or athlete is asked to mail in his own urine sample. Of particular concern to senators is the Parchin site where testing ocurred in the early 2000's, which Amano has said Iran is trying to sanitize, and which is not part of this agreement. Iran has not agreed to IAEA requests to interview a Iranian scientist Mr. Fakhrizadeh or other top Iranian military officers and nuclear scientists as part of its probe into past Iranian nuclear activities, Yukiya Amano told the WSJ in an intervew.

Expert opinion on verification of the Iran nuclear deal of July 2015
07/22/2015
Experts say small scale activity could be covered up in 24 days. In the past Iran has done this at the Kalaye Electric Company site in 2003. Senator Corker points out that the process to get an inspection would take more than 24 days when all the time is added up correctly.

WSJ intervew with Yukiya Amano, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in July 2015 following the nuclear agreement with Iran
07/16/2015
Mr Amano of the IAEA, the UN agency which will monitor Iran's compliance with the agreement says the job of looking into the issues of past nuclear activities by mid-December 2015 can be done if Iran cooperates fully. He has worked out a side agreement to ensure Iran provides information. He says instead of ticking away at boxes this time in sequence and being slowed down as Iran dragged its feet for moving to the next step, this time all the matters will be tackled simultaneously. Still he sees this as a challenge of filling in a large jigsaw puzzle. The Parchin military site receives special mention. Iran gets three weeks interval before the inspection of a military site begins, during which time it could move nuclear material to a different site. President Obama says at his news conference on July 15, 2015, that he relies on laws of physics that will tell the U.S. monitoring tools whether any nuclear material was at a site.

Verification by UN agency IAEA as the weak point in the nuclear agreement with Iran reached in April 2015
04/04/2015
International inspectors from the UN's agency will face the same problems they faced in Iraq and in an earlier period in Iran, say critics of the nuclear agreement. With the Security Council divided, and China, Russia opposing a "snap back" in sanctions, the "snap back" option may not work in the future. If German and French companies enter the Iranian market it will be diffficult to get Germany and France to support a reimposition of sanctions. As a result the entire framework of the agreement rests on verification and the record on this is weak.

France and the issue of full inspection and verification, including military sites, of a nuclear deal with Iran
06/01/2015
With the Ayatollah Khamanei saying Iran's "brazen enemy" will be denied access to military sites and to Iranian scientists, and France's foreign minister calling any agreement- regardless of how good it is- without full inspection being meaningless, the two sides are far apart.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
