#1 Seems to me that they want to know they will be receiving fuel that is uncontaminated and can be further refined to weapons grade before they give up their own. Is it true that they can use their contaminated fuel for medical and power-generation purposes? Then I would say no, unless the "contamination" thing is a hoax just to get the west off their backs as they go about furthering their nuclear program. If all this is true, then it seems we would need to inspect much more of their Uranium before we can go any further with this process. And what is with all this "research grade" Uranium? Seems to me it is probably just how far they had managed to get in the bomb-making process before they figured out they had a problem, so they dubbed it "research" material rather than pre-"weapons grade" material.

I'd say get them to fess-up and cough-up or make sure they get fuc&ed-up.

#3 Let us just admit to ourselves that Iran's plan is to create nuclear weapons and be a dominate regional power with expansionist aims. They are not going to honor any treaty that will impede their goals. The world can confront Iran now and do something about it at a great cost, or wait and hope they implode. Or face them later and pay a cost in human life and treasure that we cannot even fathom.
