US accuses Iran of intimidating UN nuclear inspectors
2010-09-16
[Jerusalem Post] The United States on Wednesday accused Iran of intimidating UN inspectors investigating its nuclear program in an effort to influence their findings.

The charge followed Iran's decision to bar two International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors after they reported that Teheran was experimenting with pyroprocessing, a procedure that can be used to purify uranium metal used in nuclear warheads.

Iran says the inspectors misreported what they saw and notes that every nation has the right to approve inspectors put forward by the agency.

But Glyn Davies, the chief US delegate to the IAEA, told the agency's 35-nation board Wednesday that barring inspectors because "they report accurately ... is unprecedented."

Iran's ban is a "clear effort to intimate inspectors and thereby influence the conclusions" they make, he said.

#1  TOPIX > WESTERN POWERS INCREASINGLY CONCERNED THAT IRAN IS PURSUING NUKES [NucWeaps], + THE [long-ranged] MISSLES TO DELIVER THEM.

"WESTERN POWERS" = includs RUSSIA + CHINA.

* SAME > US [air strikes]COULD BE BLOCKED BY IRAN'S [new] SAMS. Ditto as per CHINESE SAMS iff a US-Chin War in East Asia.

SECDEF GATES, USDOD is more correct than perhaps they themselves realize by their prioritizing of US SPECOPS + NEW TECHNOLOGIES, ETC. to fight the Militants + GWOT.

And thusly, Virgina, 1960's-70's GUAM TAOTAMONAS + NOSTRADAMUS, ETC. sing ....

To wit,

"SINK THE TIRPITZ, SINK THE TIRPITZ..." [Commando-SpecOps agz Chin Rivers, FJords, + "THE GORGE-BUSTERS".

VERSUS

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > AFGHANISTAN'S FATE MAY MATTER MOST TO CHINA.

ARTIC > Both Risng Chin's PLA, + the SUPPORT-FOR-JIHAD-IS-MANDATED-IN-THEIR-CHARTER PAK Armed Forces believe a US-NATO Victory will only serve to entrench US Milfor Presence + Influence in Afghanistan = AFPAK, hence both Chin + PAK have a vested covert interest in any US FAILURE OR DEFEAT IN SAME.

* ISRAEL NN > USDOD FORCED TO BARGAIN HUNT.
