'Iran 'bars' IAEA nuclear inspectors from Parchin site'

[math330]

From the bbc (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17122738) again.

The UN's nuclear watchdog says Iran has stopped a team of inspectors from visiting a key military site.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says no deal has been reached on inspecting Parchin, south of Tehran, despite "intensive efforts".

But then, looking on the Iranian news site presstv.ir, there is no mention of this. Only that the IAEA inspectors had arrived and were going to be involved in talks for two days:

Also, from here (http://www.presstv.ir/detail/227802.html)
"Despite the widely publicized claims by the US, Israel and some of their European allies that Iran's nuclear program may include a military aspect, Iran insists on its civilian nature, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful objectives.

The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted towards nuclear weapons production."

I realise presstv.ir is the equivalent of the UK's State mouthpiece, the BBC, but where's the midpoint? Have the IAEA been barred?

Its B/S. I will go and fetch a can of room deodorizer. Brb. If The USA think there gonna bully Iran like Iraq and many other countries previously, well then they are in for a big surprise. China, Russia and The Et/Ed's will be standing by. The US military complex will be transferred off planet.

"Iran not co-operating on nuclear programme, says IAEA"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17158353

And so the story gets sillier.
Iran says it is giving access to the IAEA inspectors. Western Media says it isn't. A la Saddam's Iraq.

Quote from the BBC; "In response, Iran insisted it was co-operating with the agency but defended its right to a civil nuclear programme.

"Iran wants to keep talking with the IAEA to prove that its nuclear activities are peaceful," said Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's envoy to the IAEA."


More:
"As Iran is not providing the necessary co-operation... the agency is unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran," the report said.
"The agency continues to have serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme."
The agency has previously expressed fears that the Iranians were developing a military capability with the help of a "foreign expert" at the Parchin site, south of the capital Tehran."

We all know Tehran is trying to build reactors for energy, Western Media is convinced it's for weapons. Even "American Intelligence Agencies" know Iran is not building a weapon.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/228378.html

"Despite the recent US and Israeli hype created around Iran’s nuclear program, a report by American intelligence agencies indicates that Tehran is not seeking to build nuclear weapons.
The most recent report on Iran’s nuclear program “represents the consensus of 16 US intelligence agencies,” the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The “highly classified” intelligence assessment was reportedly circulated among US policymakers early last year.
The US National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report published in December 2007 also confirmed with “high confidence” the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program."

What's frightening to me is that, despite the knowledge that this is all propaganda made to demonise Iran, we have no way to stop it. Same as the Iraq war, same as everything else. If they drum it through the national papers, the magazines and the net - many people are going to believe what they say.
