Nuclear inspectors to visit Iranian sites
International nuclear inspectors will visit two sites in Iran in the coming days, the country’s official news agency reported Sunday, as an official said that would fulfill a series of demands made by the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
The demands by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which Iran was required to meet by May 15, include releasing information about its efforts to develop a type of explosive detonator that can be used in nuclear weapons.
A report by Iran’s official IRNA news agency quoted Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman of Iran’s atomic department, as saying the inspectors will visit a uranium mine and a uranium-thickening facility in central Iranian towns of Ardakan and Yazd on Monday and Tuesday.
“Following the visit, Iran will be able to say that the seven-agreed measures between Iran and the agency have fulfilled,” Kamalvandi said. “Already six steps have been taken.”
He did not elaborate. His comments refer to an agreement struck between the U.N. nuclear watchdog and Iran in February, which included the detonators.
The agency mentioned its concerns about detonator development three years ago as part of a list of activities it said could indicate that Tehran had secretly worked on nuclear weapons. The technology had “limited civilian and conventional military applications,” it said back then, adding: “given their possible application in a nuclear explosive device … Iran development of such detonators and equipment is a matter of concern.”
The West fears Iran’s nuclear program could allow it to build an atomic bomb. Iran denies the charge saying its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes such as power generation and medical research.
The other demands included access to nuclear sites and more information about its enrichment process.
The inspectors’ visit comes as expert-level talks will begin on Monday in New York between Iran and representatives from world powers that struck an initial nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic in November.
Under the November deal, Tehran stopped enrichment of uranium to 20 percent – which is a possible pathway to nuclear arms – in exchange for the easing of some Western sanctions. It also agreed to dilute half of its 20 percent enriched uranium into 5 percent and turn the remaining half into oxide, which is very difficult to be used for bomb-making materials.
Now, negotiators from Iran, Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.S. will attempt to make a final deal before a July 20 deadline. Already, Iran has said it will redesign its Arak heavy water reactor to greatly limit the amount of plutonium it can make, a major concession.
On Sunday, Iran’s moderate President Hassan Rouhani reiterated his support to the talks with the world powers. He faces increasing pressure from hard-liners within the Islamic Republic who say Iran has made too many concessions in the nuclear talks in return for too little.
“We intend to have dialogue with the world to solve our problems,” Rouhani said.

Given’s Kerry’s history of utter failure in negotiations with Russia, Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Palestine, etc. it seems unlikely he will be successful in his negotiations with Iran.

Why the fuck should the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Syrians, the Israelis, the Palestinians, or anyone else for that matter, negotiate anything with Kerry?
There’s a big world out there Plant, outside of your little head.

Us spies to poke around Iran. Want to bet these ‘UN Inspectors’ will find all kinds of things ‘wrong’ to accuse Iran of? Anyone here think they could swing by Israel and see how are the zionists are doing on the nuclear proliferation issue while they are in the neighborhood?

OK, folks it is always the big point here to bash the US and rightly. Yet, Iran is a slug of a country and not worthy of any praise except as just another snake among snakes. The problem with Iran is not the stupid battle between the US and Iran which frankly is endless ignorance from both sides. What is scary is the NUK obsession. NUK is a bad and dangerous way to go for a society whether peaceful or WMD’s. It is bad for the world. We have learned this the hard way and Pandora’s Box is open. We know a decent is coming so how the hell is a basket case corrupt mullah run country going to manage all this nuclear mess they are creating when the global world unravels. If the global decent holds off, what the hell is the global world going to do with a ME with a Saudi and Iranian Bomb because that is where this is ME NUK thing is heading. We are looking into the abyss with all the snakish leaders in the ME. If, there is something the US has done properly it has been to keep the heat on Iran and their Nausea Show. The Iranian snakes are up to no good because their sole political motivation is to export a dictatorship of a religious run mullah state. A state that does not tolerate anything but what is given by fatwa’s and is in accordance with the revolutionary guard dictates. There are PPI’s here who see them as a great country and the US as the snake. Sorry, they are two snakes with different colors.

Iran is an enemy to the US. Both countries spend money on weapons to fight each other. If these sanctions work and prevent nuclear weapons in Iran for a few years or decades, a great achievement for Obama. I am at least happy he is trying.

Iran is one of the last holdouts in the world, to the Zionist central banking cartels. The Iranian people are not enemies of ours. They only want to live their lives in peace, just as we do.
The propaganda is so thick, you can smell it.

Davy,
You make a very good point. Now would be a very good time to decommission all nuclear facilities worldwide, while we still can. Obviously, to me at least, it isn’t going to happen. (In time)

Of the 1,426 billionaires around the globe, 165 of them are Jews, and their joint wealth reaches the incredible amount of $812 billion

LOL @ Zionist central banking. 812 billion is chump change in the global picture. Thats just 2 years of interest on the US debt.

Boat,
Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews. Do a bit of research into central banking, and you will understand what I am talking about. If you believe that the people that print the money, actually care about how much money they have, you don’t understand how money works at all.
You might find this documentary enlightening, if you care to learn the truth.

Tsiyonut) is the national movement of Jews and Jewish culture that supports the creation of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the Land of Israel.[1] A religious variety of Zionism supports Jews upholding their Jewish identity, opposes the assimilation of Jews into other societies and has advocated the return of Jews to Israel as a means for Jews to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from antisemitic discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that had historically occurred in the diaspora.[
That video is just one version of one set of views. History is written by the winners and unfairness and conspiracy theories by those who perceive themselves as losing or has lost. Crimea is a perfect example of different views depending on where you live. I look around and read and make my own judgements using my own style which differs of course than many of the 7 billion that I share the planet with. I get very skeptical when somebody tells me about some certain truth.Just like your view of Zionism is different than Wikipedia.
GregT on Mon, 5th May 2014 1:49 pm
Zionism is not a religion. Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews. As I stated above. My views are not different than the views expressed in that article from Wikipedia.
That video is full of information that comes directly out of our history books. The only conspiracy, is the one created by the central bankers, on the world. You would obviously understand this, if you were willing to actually seek the truth. Which, apparently, you are not.

“We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it”. — Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 (Rep. Pa)

Ah the western propaganda machine is a hoot.
‘Moderate’- Anyone that accedes to the u$s senseless and totally unrealistic demands, and gets literally, nothing in return.
‘Hardliner’-Anyone that realizes, or openly points out, that giving into the u$’s demands is foolish and tantamount to surrender.

It’s ALL about money…
NOTHING in this world is independent of money.
There are still at least 5 nations outside of the grip of the central banksters (Russia, Iran, Syria, China, North Korea) who have to be brought to heel before it all implodes. Unfortunately for the banksters, 3 of the 5 are nuclear and the other two are friends of the nukes. The West is finally facing real opposition, not 3rd world countries and they are under brained.
BTW: Delta Airlines uses SDRs (Special Drawing Rights) to determine international baggage liability limits. I found that to be interesting since that is the monetary system being championed by China and other countries. The USD will be just another currency soon. Not the petrodollar of today.
