Did Iran Blink?
They are now agreeing to allow UN nuclear inspectors in, according to Forbes:The IAEA - the U.N.'s nuclear monitor - said Iran promised the
concessions, including the inspection of the Arak reactor, in a meeting this
week between its officials and a senior delegation from the Vienna-based
agency.
Years of Iranian stonewalling have left the IAEA unable to ascertain
the truth of the country's claims that it has no nuclear weapons ambitions and
that its atomic activities are meant strictly to generate power. Its refusal to
cooperate was the trigger that prompted U.N. Security Council involvement last
year and led to two sets of sanctions.
This could be just another stalling tactics by the rogue regime in Tehran, but it is interesting that it ties in with North Korea's apparent capitulation over its own weapons program, and as evidence mounts of Iran's involvement in Iraqi affairs. The Axis of Evil is falling on hard times, thanks to Bush's hard but fair stance in the region.
And an even more ominous development-Iranians arrest 14 squirrels for spying.
