UN inspectors visit once-secret Iranian site

TEHRAN, Iran — U.N. inspectors entered a once-secret uranium enrichment facility with bunker-like construction and heavy military protection that raised Western suspicions about the extent and intent of Iran's nuclear program.

The visit Sunday by the four-member International Atomic Energy Agency team, reported by state media, was the first independent look inside the planned nuclear fuel lab, a former ammunition dump burrowed into the treeless hills south of Tehran and only publicly disclosed last month. The inspectors are expected to study plant blueprints, interview workers and take soil samples before wrapping up the three-day mission.

No results from the inspection are expected until the team leaves the country, but some Iranian officials hailed the visit as an example that their nuclear program was open to international scrutiny.

"IAEA inspectors' visit to Fordo shows that Iran's nuclear activities are transparent and peaceful," the official IRNA news agency quoted lawmaker Hasan Ebrahimi as saying.

Another test of Iran's cooperation is fast approaching, however. Iran has promised to respond this week to a U.N.-brokered deal to process its nuclear fuel abroad — a plan designed to ease Western fears about Iran's potential ability to produce weapons-grade material.

The Israeli Mossad wasted this good opportunity to hide a few of their top agents among the inspection team in order to sabotage the Qom nuke facility's Halliburton-supplied centrifuges and kill the nuclear scientists.

What do you think?

The Iranians finally, got everything incriminating moved out so the inspectors won’t see it.

That crew of inspectors looks like they couldn’t find the bathroom.

I think this is a slow motion train wreck of epic proportions that we are watching. And it won’t be good enough for Hillary Clinton to smack her forehead with her palm and say “Gee, I was sure that diplomacy was going to work!” after parts of Tel Aviv are smoking and the war is on.

Maybe the Iranians have adopted the same method the Israelis have done at their Dimona nuke facility in the Negev Desert, by constructing false walls and a fake control center, concealing the plant’s nuke production from the U.S. inspectors, under the JFK and LBJ administrations.

Uh-oh. Iran’s in big trouble now. If the UN finds anything they don’t like they’ll be forced to contemplate thinking about possibly calling a meeting to discuss the possibility of maybe issuing another strongly-worded letter.

I think anything the Iranians show us is just a dog and pony show to make Western libs think nothing’s wrong.

Beats sending bomb-laden F-15Is and F-16Is to Qom due to the risk of getting shot down by a SAM battery placed in the nuke plant’s perimeter.
