What is there to explain? It is an empty building, and anything can happen. It is up to IAEA to focus on solving the matter at hand, not to cause divesions. But, there are plenty of member of IAEA who are more interested in mudding up the waters, then to try to solve one an only question: how an a signatory to IAEA and NPT exercise their right of membeship in processing their own uranium for peacefull purposes. Once IAEA stops chasing wind, it can focus on setting up the rules, guideliness and any other measures that would allow members to exercise their rights. Or, why not look at the already existing facilities in other countries, and apply the same set of supervisory controls? Why make Iran so different?

"the IAEA is going to ask Iran to clearly explain the purposes of the facility" - Well it just might be that it is to enrich Uranium!

Makes me wonder who are the people who interpret what IAEA said, or did not say. IAEA has received more then ample notification of the new facility under construction. In fact, IAEA rules require ONLY SIX MONTHS ADVANCE NOTICE TO IAEA. Iran gave 18 months. After that, Iran can move its uranium to new plant under IAEA supervision. This is really not complicated, but somebody is sure trying to make it. And the gullable journalists take all the words that come out of 'unannimous' sources as a gospel, without having the requisite knowledge to ask appropriate questions. The death of good media is our undoing.

The World community is a broken record player. I am really tired of having this same news story recycled over and over and over again. The fact the US complains about them endlessly makes journalist work easy. Just cut and paste last weeks story and keep doing it every week. This has been going on for years already. The end result will likely be a war, which is what happened last time endless news about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was trumpeted.

Now I wonder what a facility declared to the IAEA as a Uranium enrichment facility could be, that needs clarrification, could it be: a) A meat processing plant b) A call centre for credit card enquiries c) A fish processing facility ........ What exactly is it, about Uranium enrichment that the IAEA doesn'tunderstand? Are they saying they don't understand the process, so need a lesson from Iran? Could this explain why the IAEA gets used as a tool to initiate war. The IAEA is at this point looking clueless, a joke and a political tool. Some simple advice, if there is no evidence to present of mis deeds, don't try to imply them, because there isn't any evidence. This is a logical absurdity used too often by the west! I suspect something, can't find any evidence, so it must be hidden deliberately, so they must be guilty. Western thinking all the way; pretty dumb and illogical with lethal consequences.
