After all these transformations of the site, I wonder if an inspection by the IAEA is still useful. When Iran will let the inspectors no evidence will remain of what was carried out there.
I don't understand.
The pictures that were analyzed by the IAEA and those that were published by ISIS were not those of Google Earth but pictures taken by commercial or military satellites.
How could they find traces?
The pictures suggest that the soil is removed (and replaced?) from the site. They did this already in the past in some other site before letting the inspectors in. Suspected buildings were also razed ahead of an inspection. If I remember well, there was a case in which the floor of a building was completely replaced before an inspection… In all these cases no traces remained.
As for the nature of the tests held inside the chamber, HE blasts are not illegal. There's a suspicion that small quantities of Uranium were used in these tests. That's probably the reason for all this cleansing.
the pics you posted are north of parchim, in a town called Darvazeh.
I actually dont know, but if it the case nobody is so naive to believe the story. If there are small traces of radioactivity and HE, they will find out.How could they find traces?

The pics are from ISIS.
The Parchin complex is huge. The building that is suspected to hold the chamber is known to be distant from the main camp. Maybe the place is just called Parchin by convenience. Maybe the Iranians pretend it is a part of the military complex as an excuse to justify the rejection of IAEA's request to inspect it.
