Iran’s Idea of a ‘Snap’ Inspection: 24 Days’ Notice

(CNSNews) – Lifting a lid on the confidential negotiations for a final Iran nuclear agreement, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius disclosed Wednesday that Tehran wants to be given 24 days’ notice ahead of any inspection of its nuclear facilities.

“A lot of things can disappear” in 24 days, the Associated Press quoted him as saying of Iran’s reported insistence that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) wait for that length of time between a report of a suspected violation and inspectors’ admission to a site.

Fabius was speaking on French foreign policy challenges at a Paris-based think tank, the Institute for International and Strategic Affairs.

Non-proliferation experts argue that “snap” inspections – also known as “anywhere, anytime” inspections – will need to be a cornerstone of any effective agreement, given Iran’s history of nuclear-related violations and non-cooperation with the IAEA.

Fabius’ revelation drew some derisive responses on social media.

Give no warning and carpet bomb all of Iran with napalm. Betcha they'll then learn the true meaning of "Snap". Stop dealing with these fools, take the handcuffs off of the military and take of business before its to late. They have never been honest and the one thing that you can never watch is a "liar" or a "lying regime".
