Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Wants IAEA Supervision and Inspections

Reuters: Iran flexible on inspectors, not core nuclear issueÂ

Iran on Thursday offered more access to U.N. inspectors if their watchdog agency, not the U.N. Security Council, dealt with its nuclear dispute with the West.

But top negotiator Ali Larijani gave no ground on Western demands that Iran stop trying to produce fuel that can be used in nuclear power stations or, if highly enriched, in bombs.

Â The Quotes:

Â “The most logical way was to have the case with the agency and to have the agency’s supervision,” Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told reporters.

“We think it is not too late to accept this. It is to their benefit, which means that the agency’s inspectors can become active. But if they (Western countries) want to use another path, their supervision will be reduced and other problems will come up,” he said. He did not elaborate.

Iran is just throwing a bone to the United Nations Security Council.Â Their plans to begin full scale uranium enrichment inside Iran are crystal clear.

In the meantime the lobbying of Security Council members continues.

Russia and China called for a peaceful solution to the standoff with Iran, while the United States said diplomacy must succeed to avert a confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
Britain, one of three European Union powers whose talks with Iran proved fruitless, again ruled out military action.

Nothing new here either.

The United States and Israel will decide the issue.

Stay tuned……
