Obama's new BFF 'Moderate and Transparent' Iran Rules Out Snap Nuclear Inspections. (rferl).
An Iranian official has reacted to comments by the head of the UN nuclear agency demanding snap inspections of Iran's nuclear sites.
Six world powers and Iran are facing an end-of-the-month deadline to reach a framework agreement to limit Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Tehran denies it is developing a nuclear weapon, as the West suspects.
Earlier this month Yukiya Amano, the head of the the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Tehran should agree to snap inspections to reassure the international community.
Iran's nuclear spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said Amano's comments harm the delicate negotiations.
"It would be much better if Amano only talked about the IAEA's seasonal and monthly reports," he said, according to state TV on March 24.
Among the unresolved issues meant to be part of an agreement is a ruling by the IAEA on whether Iran worked on nuclear arms in the past. Tehran denies that, but the agency says it has information suggesting otherwise. Hmmm....they're lying and hiding the truth and no back room deals can hide this. Read the full story here.
