Given Iran's past deception, international inspectors need access anywhere, anytime. Otherwise, the agreement won't be verifiable. I don't believe the P5+1 or UN Security Council should rely on Iran's good faith, alone.
Anywhere anytime? This simply isnt possible. All nuclear facilities, absolutely possible. Anywhere? Literally not possible. No country simply allows international officials or other officials access to anywhere they want... However to say that if we dont have access to 2 areas of the PMD issues (which I think the 2 remaining negotiated issues of the PMD's are I think one is about explosive detonators and one about neutron transport studies.
Furthermore, such terms are required under UN Security Council Resolution 1696 which declares that the Security Council “...Demands... that Iran shall suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, including research and development, to be verified by the IAEA."
I realize this... Why do you think we are here today and Iran had international sanctions placed on it?
All such activities means every site wherever such activities might occur, military or otherwise.
No where does it state that....
If Iran is truly committed to a peaceful nuclear energy program, it should have no difficulty allowing for such inspections. If, on the other hand, it seeks to retain strategic flexibility to pursue a weapons program, it will have grave difficulty with such terms. The weeks ahead, including whether Iran addresses the IAEA's two outstanding critical issues, will provide a lot of insight into Iran's intentions.
"PMDs and the Final Nuclear Agreement
Tying a comprehensive nuclear agreement to a resolution of the IAEA's investigation into the PMDs is unnecessary and risks derailing a deal.
Expecting Iran to "confess" that it pursued a nuclear weapons program is unrealistic and unnecessary. After having spent years denying that it pursued nuclear weapons and having delivered a fatwa against nuclear weapons, Tehran's senior leaders cannot afford to admit that it hid a nuclear weapons program.
In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, 354 members of Congress said that transparency on the PMD actions are necessary in order to establish a meaningful monitoring and verification system in a comprehensive deal.
Resolution of the agency's investigation is not necessary to put in place a comprehensive monitoring and verification regime that will prevent Iran from pursuing a covert program to build nuclear weapon or deviating from a comprehensive nuclear deal.
The IAEA's investigation into Iran's past nuclear activities related to weapons development is a separate process, and conditioning a nuclear deal on completion of the agency's investigation would delay and likely undermine the prospect for the conclusion of a comprehensive nuclear deal that limits Iran's nuclear potential and improves the international community's ability to detect and disrupt any potential future nuclear weapons-related effort.
Stringent and intrusive monitoring and verification mechanisms under the terms of the Additional Protocol would give the IAEA access to all of Iran's nuclear sites at short notice and access to additional sites if the agency suspects nuclear activities may be talking place. The IAEA and the international community will be able to quickly detect and deter any attempt to pursue nuclear weapons, whether through a covert program or by using declared facilities. Such measures are only possible with the negotiation of a comprehensive nuclear agreement by the P5+1 and Iran."
