UN Nuclear Inspectors Arrive in Tehran for Start of Interim Pact

Source: Bloomberg

United Nations nuclear inspectors arrived in Tehran today as part of a joint interim accord that would see Iran reduce its uranium enrichment in return for an easing of some Western sanctions, the Fars news agency reported.

Reza Najafi, Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the team will supervise the suspension of 20 percent-enriched uranium at the country’s Fordo and Natanz nuclear enrichment sites, according to Fars.

The IAEA team, led by Massimo Aparo, will also meet with Iran’s own Atomic Energy Organization. The inspections come alongside a commitment from Iran to cease further enrichment of 20 percent-enriched uranium and start diluting or oxidizing part of its current stockpile.

In return, the European Union and U.S. have agreed to allow Iran to access $4.2 billion in oil revenues held in frozen bank accounts and suspend sanctions on Iran’s petrochemical exports and imports of goods and services for its auto sector.

This Iran boogah boogah they MIGHT get a nuke is such a pile of bullshit.

Iranians will not forget the suffering they have had at the hands of the USA's sanctions.

There is no win/win here possible for the USA, already ties between Russia and Iran are getting closer, as they are with China -

NOT in the best interests of the USA one bit, but,

the USA is getting pretty proficient at shooting itself in the foot lately.

ps to Israel: - don't think the PNAC/MIC et al ain't watching YOUR oil reserve discoveries closely . . . .
