Iran threatened ‘harm’ to top nuke inspector to prevent disclosure of secret deal

Iranian leaders prevented a top International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) official from disclosing to U.S. officials the nature of secret side deals with the Islamic Republic by threatening harm to him, according to regional reports.

Yukiya Amano, IAEA director general, purportedly remained silent about the nature of certain side deals during briefings with top U.S. officials because he feared such disclosures would lead to retaliation by Iran, according to the spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI).

Amano was in Washington recently to brief members of Congress and others about the recently inked nuclear accord. However, he did not discuss the nature of side deals with Iran that the United States is not permitted to know about.

Iran apparently threatened Amano in a letter meant to ensure he did not reveal specific information about the nature of nuclear inspections going forward, according to Iranian AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi.

This disclosure has only boosted suspicions among some that the Iranians are willing and able to intimidate the top nuclear watchdog and potentially undermine the verification regime that Obama administration officials have dubbed a key component of the nuclear accord.

I'm guessing that the "secret side deals" in question were made with "U.S. Officials" other than the "U.S. officials" the IAEA official was "prevented from disclosing" to.

Why is the USA party to a deal with Iran that has important components that are kept secret from the USA?

Even with the USSR, Reagan used trust but verify. Iran doesn’t deserve our trust, and we have no opportunity to verify.

This “deal” stinks!

Well that explains how Obama found common ground with the Iranian leaders. Birds of a feather, flock together.

So international inspectors cannot reveal to us the details, of an agreement we are in? Can anybody imagine Trump making this deal?

Sounds like perfect people to be Obama’s partners for the eradication of the infidel West; and Boehner and McConnell will play their roles as token opposition.

What? The Iranians are not nice, honorable people?

So many constituents near our coasts are so sure that they want to nominate socialist candidates who have no desire to cut big government spending on civilian incomes. They slander the only candidate who has cut much government spending. May they get the government that they deserve and all that will come with it very soon.

Iran has no desire to abide by any agreements with the USA or the world at large. They are just biding their time and using these delays to build up their arsenal so they can try and bring about the end of the world and the destruction of Israel, and world leaders are letting them get what they want to do just that.

But we know that will never happen and that God Almighty Himself will destroy Iran and Russia.
