IAEA Team Back From Iran Inspection

10-29-2009 • AP

A team of U.N. nuclear inspectors returned Thursday from a visit to a previously secret Iranian uranium enrichment site and their leader expressed satisfaction with the mission.

What the inspectors saw — and how freely they were allowed to work — will be key in deciding whether six world powers engaging Iran in efforts to reduce fears that it seeks to make nuclear weapons seek a new round of talks with Tehran.

According to the NPT, all the inspectors should have seen was an empty underground warehouse - Iran's still within the 180-day window on Qom.

If the inspectors found anything else, it will be called a violation of the NPT. If they found exactly what they were supposed to find, Iran will be accused of hiding things from the UN.

It's a Kabuki theater.
