Iran Embarrasses Obama, Takes Nuclear Samples With No Supervision

Now that the Pentagon seems to have come to terms with the fact that Russia and Iran are coordinating their military activities in Syria in support of their mutual ally Bashar al-Assad, the Obama administration has a problem.
As we said last month, ‘with the GOP unable to block the Iran nuclear deal in the Senate, should Iran’s involvement in Syria become common knowledge, then Obama will be faced with the biggest diplomatic headache in his administration’s history, namely the explanation of why he is scrambling to restore diplomatic connections with a regime that couldn’t even wait for the Iran deal to be formally passed before it turned its back on its newest ‘best friend’ in the Oval Office, only to promptly side with the KGB agent who over the past two years has emerged as the biggest US enemy in three decades.’
This will of course be complicated immeasurably in the event Congress gets the idea that Iran is attempting to hide anything and indeed, GOP lawmakers were enraged when, late last month, AP reported that ‘Iran will be allowed to use its own inspectors to investigate a site it has been accused of using to develop nuclear arms, operating under a secret agreement with the U. N. agency that normally carries out such work.’
The site in question is Parchin which, amusingly, AP originally referred to as a “nuclear site’ before getting a tap on the shoulder and correcting the article. ‘In fact, it’s a military site where some believe nuclear work occurred,’ the correction reads.
Yes, some do believe that and before the P5 1 deal can be implemented and crippling economic sanctions fully lifted, Tehran must first satisfy the IAEA’s worries about Parchin.
