IAEA warns money running out to monitor Iran nuclear deal

VIENNA - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday it will run out of money next month to monitor implementation of nuclear accords with Tehran and asked countries to increase funding the costs of its Iran work, which will rise to $10 million a year.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano said he had asked member states for contributions to ensure its work can go ahead.

Under the agreement reached between Tehran and six world powers on July 14, sanctions relief for Iran hinges on IAEA reports on its past and present nuclear program.

So far, costs for the IAEA's activities on Iran have been met through extra-budgetary contributions from member states.

But Amano said the 800,000 euros ($924,000) per month the agency receives to verify current Iran nuclear agreements would be exhausted by the end of next month.

The IAEA will need an additional 160,000 euros per month in the run-up to the implementation of the agreement which could happen in the first half of next year. Once it is implemented, the agency will need an annual 9.2 million euros ($10.6 million) to ensure verification of the deal.

Following Amano's request, the United States - the agency's biggest financial contributor - said it was committed to ensuring it had enough money for its Iran operations.

Wanna guess which country will give them all of it? And why? Iran is monitoring themselves, and they have plenty of money now thanks to us.

*Just pull the cost of monitoring for ten years out of the billions being released to Iran as a security surcharge.*

But then they couldn’t screw us, the US taxpayer, and that is the point, isn’t it.

Aside from the oil for food or the human trafficking, what exactly has the U.N. DONE?

I’m presuming, like the Fed, its books are ‘off the table’ from prying eyes??

Still, anything to take-down the U.S. the p-Resident will agree...

Iran is going to monitor itself, why does the IAEA need money to monitor what it isn't going to monitor? ........($924,000) per month......down payments on all of their vacation homes?
