IAEA says team denied access to suspected sites!
UN nuke agency says Iran blocked attempts to probe alleged atomic arms work at Tehran talks and says its team visiting Iran was denied access to Parchin military site. This marks the second time a visiting team in past months has been denied access to visit and inspect suspected nuclear weapons research site in Iran!
and so the drums get louder
That is because Parchin is not a nuclear site and is used for missile testing and probably explosive testing. An IAEA report in 2006 visit said no unusual activities.
Reports do have it as a HMX explosive production place.
And the report also stated that there was some questions left unanswered from their trip to Parchin last time and afterwards there was the report that got leaked that Iran had been experimenting with testing HE explosives and trigger mechanisms of the type mainly used in nuclear warhead detonation, since then the IAEA has tried to get back to the site to do a second overview and interview with site personal but Iran has stonewalled any further inspection of site.Originally Posted by themacedonian

I know. Iran has also made a complaint last year that IAEA could be providing a list of people vital to their military/missile production to other countries some years back even before the current assassination events.
They would be stupid to let them in at the current climate.
The IAEA encompasses not just nuclear material for the civilian sector but also monitoring and restricting technology that is mainly used in production of nuclear weapons or is duel use..
One of the keys for nuclear bomb production is to have the ability and timing compression of the core material using a set of charges arranged around the core and and the ability to produce timing triggers to ensure simultaneous detonation of HE explosive directional charges to detonate and compress the core together..

The IAEA is part of the UN?
They really dont have an option they signed onto being part of the IAEA and the only thing they can do is just announce they are leaving and pulling out but that would mean they could no longer draw things out with other nations trying to bring them back to talks. Also most foreign governments already have a pretty good idea of who is working at what sites in Iran so for Iran to use that as an excuse is not that good.
BS. The IAEA made a statement she didn't reveal the identities of the scientists to anyone, and her inspectors never met with some of those that were killed.
Iran works in this military site on the warhead of its nuclear military program. It's a classic deceptive tactic that was used also by Iraq and is/was used by Syria.
It's an UN Agency and her reports are submitted to the UNSC.
Yes they are an international monitor organization overseen by the UN and members nations of the United Nations..
6. To establish or adopt, in consultation and, where appropriate, in collaboration with the competent organs of the United Nations and with the specialized agencies concerned, standards of safety for protection of health and minimization of danger to life and property (including such standards for labour conditions), and to provide for the application of these standards to its own operation as well as to the operations making use of materials, services, equipment, facilities, and information made available by the Agency or at its request or under its control or supervision; and to provide for the application of these standards, at the request of the parties, to operations under any bilateral or multilateral arrangements, or, at the request of a State, to any of that State's activities in the field of atomic energy;

Thanks to both of you.
The place is a prime site and do know what the dual use and the explosive triggers can be used for an impossion device.
I still think the sticking point is the scientists names and who ever replaced the previous faces.
In any attack on Iran the place would be a prime target. Now if it was known by the west of the Iranian activities and then Iran moved them to another location a IAEA might notice this. Since 2006 many changes could have happened.
Iran might want the west to continue thinking that is the only place. It is a game they are playing.
This site had a central place in the last report of the IAEA (last quarter 2011). The report said the suspected work on the nuclear warhead is done in this facility. The suspicions of the IAEA are backed by evidence: pictures taken by satellites.
The Iranian argument about the identity of the scientists is BS. The IAEA declared the inspectors never met the last assassinated scientist.
Letting them into the site and if the IAEA verified that the only research going on was to conventional explosive testing it would be a big thing for Iran for them to go to the UN and say see we are not conducting illegal weapon research. Iran is just stalling for time.
Not only did they not know about them but the IAEA said they would have been very interested in having the chance to talk with them about the site. As I said most governments have a very good idea about who is working at these sites better then the IAEA because the IAEA is just an inspection and monitoring agency of the UN and does not have a network of informants and contacts like single interested government can use to gather Intel.
