So does it feel to you like we are being nudged down a path of acceptance here?

First, Iran states, we are not enriching uranium.

Then, we have the right to peaceful nuclear power.

Then, we have the right to enrich our own uranium, for peaceful power generations.

Now, we have the right to enrich our own uranium without certain inspectors?

Overton Window?  Deception?

Isn’t Iran one of the largest oil producers?  Why do they need nuclear power?

Hmm….

Salehi: Iran has the right to bar UN nuclear inspectors

Iranian nuke chief claims country asked IAEA to replace inspectors that were kicked out; comes after unusually blunt warning by UN watchdog.

Teheran has the right to bar some UN inspectors from monitoring its disputed nuclear program, Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said late Monday.

The comments came in response to an unusually blunt warning by the International Atomic Energy Agency which expressed alarm about Iran’s decision to bar some of its inspectors. The report followed Iran’s recent decision to strip two inspectors of the right to monitor its nuclear activities after they reported what they said were undeclared nuclear experiments.

The semiofficial ISNA news agency quoted Salehi as saying Iran asked the agency to replace the two.

The Islamic Republic says the reporting by the UN atomic watchdog was inaccurate, but the IAEA stands by the findings.

Objections by Iran to some experienced inspectors “hampers the inspection process and thereby detracts from the agency’s capability to implement effective and efficient safeguards in Iran,” the document said.

The 11-page report devoted a special section to the complaint, reflecting the importance attached to it by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano. Such a section was included in only one previous report, after Iran impeded the work of dozens of inspectors in 2006 and 2007.
