'Iran to ban IAEA inspectors if they lie'
2012-02-01
[Iran Press TV] An Iranian politician says the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors should be banned from re-entering the country, if they once again publish unreal reports on Tehran's peaceful nuclear program.

Mostafa Kavakebian on Tuesday called on Iran's security officials to exercise vigilance over the IAEA inspectors' conduct in order to prevent them from collecting and leaking confidential information on the country's nuclear facilities.

Kavakebian, a member of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, also stressed that if the UN atomic agency's team would publish "unrealistic report" on Iran's nuclear activities and "mislead the global community" after leaving Iran, they must be denied entry into the country.

A high-ranking delegation of the IAEA, headed by the agency's Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts and its number two Rafael Grossi, arrived in Tehran on Sunday upon an invitation by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).

The visit was aimed at holding talks within the framework of the IAEA article of association to bolster cooperation between the two sides. The UN atomic agency's team had no plan to inspect Iran's nuclear facilities.

Referring to the negotiations between the agency's inspectors and Iranian nuclear officials, Kavakebian described the talks as "ineffective" if they were not bilateral.

#2  Pointless. Iran is letting the IAEA in because existing sanctions hurt and because Iran fears that Russia and China can delay the UN for only so long. If Iran kicks the IAEA inspectors out then the sanctions continue and will likely get worse.
