Iran requires IAEA to sign Modality prior to access to sites
…Iran on Monday required the International Atomic Energy Agency to sign Modality to resolve outstanding issues prior to access to Iranian sites.
Iran’s IAEA envoy Ali-Asghar Soltanieh said that the prerequisite to the IAEA inspectors’ access to Iranian sites is signing a Modality Plan to resolve the outstanding issues.
Speaking to IRNA after two-hour closed-door briefing session of Non-Aligned Movement at IAEA Headquarters, Soltanieh said the meeting discussed latest developments about Iran’s nuclear issue, including two rounds of Tehran-IAEA talks.
He said that at the NAM meeting, he expressed Iran’s preparedness for cooperation with the IAEA, adding that no compromise will be made over Iranian nation’s inalienable rights.
He added that he briefed the NAM Representatives to IAEA about intensive talks with the agency’s officials in Tehran and made it clear that the Islamic Republic of Iran showed goodwill and transparency on the legal and specialized aspects of the issue.
As for question of some NAM ambassadors on the IAEA inspectors’ access to Parchin, he said that first of all a modality in which duties of both sides are clarified, should be signed with all reservations so that the ground would be prepared for any inspection.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to continue talks with the IAEA based on its international principles and commitments, including Non-Proliferation Treaty, said Soltanieh, adding that based on approvals of the NAM ambassadors, the working group of NAM, comprising deputy ambassadors immediately started work to prepare statement in support for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He noted that once finally approved, the NAM envoys’ statement would be read out at the Board of Governors session by Egypt’s ambassador.
The IAEA Board session will convene next week.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano released his latest Iran report on Iran three days ago…
In other words, Iran will allow the IAEA into Parchin (again!) to investigate, as long as the IAEA reciprocates by calling off the dogs of war, and in particular, Amano and his politicized henchmen…! Now, I do foresee it as a real opportunity to finally put the issue to rest, but, I have faith that it will not placate the Neo/Ziocons one iota…!
Why you might ask…?
Take a gander at the latest Congressional Research Service report being distributed to all our Congress Critters… Iran’s Nuclear Program: Tehran’s Compliance with International Obligations (PDF! 18pgs)
In it, they used a whole lot of weasel words like; “May have violated,” “Serious concerns,” and, “Will not be in a position to progress in its verification of the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran.”
Naturally, the lede was buried deep in the report… “A November 18, 2011, IAEA board resolution expressed “serious concern” that Tehran has not complied with the obligations described in IAEA Board of Governors and U.N. Security Council resolutions, but the November resolution did not contain a formal finding of noncompliance.”
Fancy that…!
Also from the CRS report…
…As noted, Resolution 1929 also requires Tehran to refrain from “any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons” and to comply with the modified Code 3.1 of its subsidiary arrangement.
Could you imagine the US submitting itself to that nonsense, much less Israel…?
Any chance that they’ll ease up on the inhumane sanctions on Iran if they find nothing in Parchin…?
*gah*

Oh c’mon hoss, WHAT war.
You, and I, have already proven there will BE no war.
Why, in yer last diary you SAID so, it’s all about electioneering for Obama, and Bibi is leaning on Obama for HIS electioneering.
Not to mention the nukers.
Russia, China, Pakistan, India, France, Germany.
Whats all about this, Alfie? Thot you SETTLED this one?
You just fear mongerng? Not like you to do so . . . ;-)
;-)
Dood, what part of ‘false flag’ don’t ya get…? It is getting downright fugly with Syria, and, by extension Iran…! You’re not fully realizing the ‘Big Picture’ here, Larue…! 8-(
Edit: Israel is pushing all the buttons… Israel Enlists Azerbaijan as Anti-Iran Ally Through Weapons Sales, Bribes
I should add… ‘Kissinger believes Israelis are in panic and will attack Iran’ (2010)
Bibi needs the external distraction…! 8-(
The question I have is what can be done to stop the U.S. from engaging if Israel goes ahead w/o warning the U.S of it’s intent to strike Iran?
I simply won’t put anything past the crazies in Israel and you know what the media/Congress will be doing if the Israeli’s are attacked as a result.
This might be a clue, ubet… Surprise– courageous Elizabeth Warren is craven on Israel lobby… 8-(
Hot off the AP wire… Israel Won’t Warn U.S. Before Strike On Iran: AP Source
…Israeli officials say they won’t warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions. The pronouncement, delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations, sets a tense tone ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and Capitol Hill…
*aargh*
Meanwhile the Bankster Empire of Old is frothing at the bit….”Britain would be sucked in whether we like it or not, probably via Iranian attacks on our forces in Afghanistan next door to them.”

Bibi better get a move on, time’s a wastin’.
Putin’s getting assassination attempts for daring to stand up to this.
Joint Chiefs Staff Chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey is getting implicitly threatened by Netanyau, (and John McCain! of the troika fame) in a sort of “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” kind of way.

This War on Terror Ruse / AKA the Return to Neo-Feudalism is really getting old.
Thanks CTuttle.
Look over there! All eyes on Iran as Israel quietly devours Area C

Says it all, doesn’t it. In addition, there were 250,000 Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley in 1967, when Israeli forces occupied it and began cutting off the water. You can’t farm without water, and one needed a permit to drill new wells, but as with houses all over the territories, Palestinians weren’t allowed to build. Today there are only 50,000 Palestinians left in the Jordan Valley, and most of them work helping to build or expand Jewish settlement communities.
Deserves a “gah.”
Is anyone surprised? No one today is able to get elected to Congress without passing the loyality test. That test has made hypocrits out may a politician, and Warren is no different. But it is disappointing.
Thanks CT for the ongoing coverage/updatings regarding what this Nobel Peace Prize winning American President — Barack Obama — and the not very peaceful brutes in TelAviv — are doing to push Iran towards the abyss that befell Iraq during 1990′s and the early 2003 baseless and brutal attack on Iraq by American WarBastards.
Not difficult to surmise if one is staying reasonably informed about what TelAviv would like to impose on East Jerusalem and the West Bank and Gaza zones of Palestine — that TelAviv needs/wants this Iran Is The Monster misdirection to create openings to forcibly take/keep what TelAviv wants — Jerusalem and West Bank.
WashingtonDC — being the captured capital it is of TelAviv’s agents and stooges — seems incapable of mounting any counter prevail — to TelAviv’s grinding grip on DC pro TelAviv pop politics and raw money and electoral blackmail forces that are used to enforce TelAviv’s political and policy holds on WashingtonDC.
Expecting any profiles in courage from Barack Obama? Not probable. Doing so to remind the Obots and Dbots again — Barack Obama is and has been POTUS for the past three years. Not Mitt Romney. Not Newt Gingrich. Not the Ricks. Not Ron Paul. So what has Barack Obama done or what is Barack Obama doing as POTUS in the way of peacemaking? For the Palestinians? For the Iraqis? For the Afghans? For the Bahrainis? For the Libyans? For the Pakistanis? Barack Obama has killed or stood by while others did the death dealing. Obama was forced to “declare” he was leaving Iraq and seems to be very busy letting the Pentagon plot long stay intents for Afghanistan despite the “we are leaving Afghanistan” BS Barack Obama seems to like suggesting while doing otherwise.
Iran surely has not a friend for seeking peace or gaining peaceful relations in/with President Barack Obama. The Nobel Peace Prize was given to an American who as POTUS is doing lots of warmongering,war crimes and is largely responsible for what Bradley Manning faces. Some Peace President this American — Barack Obama — is not.
Iran has been in WashingtonDCs crosshairs since 1980 for having the audacity of throwing off WashingtonDC’s installed puppet for Iran — the Shah — and telling the Americans to take a hike too. Coming just five years after the rout WashingtonDC deservedly got handed in Saigon by the Vietnamese Tehran burned WashingtonDC deeply.
It is beyond ironic anymore how TelAviv accuses Tehran of doing what TelAviv has done already ( getting atomic weapons illegally ) or is doing to Iran via terrorism ops and overt/covert illegal warmaking. One need not imagine very long to arrive at how this would all be playing if the tables were turned and Tehran was doing to TelAviv what TelAviv is doing to Tehran – Iran would be cratered with atomic blast holes — American or Israeli made.
Holding TelAviv to those now long ago legal,ethical and moral standards visited on Germans and Japanese at the end of WW2 seems quite the hollow gesture these days. Who is still deluded to think Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would anyway? These two Americans seem untouched by the death dealing and suffering they unleash often on innocents. But lets rail some more about those damn Rs who are trying to become POTUS — we are so lucky to have a D Party run WH that manages to deliver how much “peace” again? Not much? None?
WashingtonDC’s Global Petro Dollar regime likely is near the middle of what Iran is being abused by WashingtonDC for and about.
Iraq and Libya both got busted up for having regimes in power that dared to contravene WashingtonDCs Petro Dollar Global Regime.
What happens if/when Saudi Arabia decides it is smarter to do so?
One can hope China,India and Russia will do so. Sooner. Better.
Attacking Tehran and Iran by TelAviv/WashingtonDC is being driven by wanton disregard for truth,fact and peace and feeds on the depraved politics/economics both TelAviv and WashingtonDC feast on while dealing out death,deep suffering and brutal militarism.
The WarBastards are known by their deeds. Face their deeds and know.
Again — thanks CT — stay with it.

Interesting report from Richard Silverstein:
Obama Promises Israel Use of U.S. Bases for Iran Attack If It Will Wait
http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2012/02/28/obama-promises-israel-use-of-u-s-bases-for-iran-attack-if-it-will-wait/
If Netanyahu does Iran before the election, Obama is screwed and he know it. White House is running scared as Netanyahu has the power of determining who will be the next US President.
Stockman on Fareed. ;o)

“So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”"
In case anyone missed it the first time:

“British strategists are shameless in proclaiming Putin’s prospective Presidency to be illegitimate. London-based exiled Russian zillionaire Boris Berezovsky made headlines yesterday with an interview in Israeli daily Ha’aretz, where he said that Putin will meet the fate of Muammar Qaddafi through a violent revolution. Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is preparing the Feb. 29 release of a 50-page report on Putin’s regime being “corrupted and unreliable,” according to their pre-announcement. Some of the British- and U.S. Project Democracy-backed opposition layers are planning mass street actions for immediately after this Sunday’s Russian election. As Prof. Igor Panarin drove home in his report to the Schiller Institute conference in Berlin on Feb. 25 (to be published in an upcoming issue of EIR), ‘London [is] Russia’s enemy — its unique historical enemy.’”
