The Associated Press<\/a> is reporting today that Iran<\/a> will be able to use its own experts to inspect a site suspected of developing nuclear arms. Evidently this is part of the secret agreement with the United Nations that parallels the Iran agreement with the United States<\/a>, Germany<\/a>, France, etc.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The investigation of the Parchin<\/a> nuclear site by the International Atomic Energy Agency<\/a> is linked to a broader probe of allegations that Iran has worked on atomic weapons. That investigation is part of the overarching nuclear deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Parchin deal is a separate, side agreement worked out between the IAEA and Iran. The United States and the five other world powers that signed the Iran nuclear<\/a> deal were not party to this agreement but were briefed on it by the IAEA and endorsed it as part of the larger package.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why in the world would any sane person sign on to this agreement? It’s like asking an alcoholic to inspect his house for alcohol.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

But the agreement diverges from normal inspection procedures between the IAEA and a member country by essentially ceding the agency’s investigative authority to Iran. It allows Tehran to employ its own experts and equipment in the search for evidence for activities that it has consistently denied – trying to develop nuclear weapons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evidence of that concession, as outlined in the document, is sure to increase pressure from U.S. congressional opponents as they review the July 14 Iran nuclear deal and vote on a resolution of disapproval in early September. If the resolution passed and President Barack Obama<\/a> vetoed it, opponents would need a two-thirds majority to override it. Even Senate Majority Leader<\/a> Mitch McConnell<\/a>, a Republican, has suggested opponents will likely lose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Senate cannot override a Presidential veto of this agreement, every Senator who voted for the agreement needs to be voted out of office as soon as possible. This is an unbelievably bad deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
