Iran's Agreement to Inspection Should Not Be Trusted

COMMENTARY | Iran will allow United Nations inspectors to tour the secret facility that has been at the center of the nuclear experimentation accusations, according to ABC News. According Fox News, Iran believes the International Atomic Energy Agency should agree with the country over the guidelines of the inspection first. This report makes me doubt Iran's intentions. If the country has nothing to hide, why would agreements and guidelines have to be put in place first?

Iran states the inspection will be an act of goodwill. If the country was not attempting to develop nuclear weapons, wouldn't this inspection be used to put those rumors to bed? Obviously, the guidelines will be put into place to ensure inspectors do not enter certain areas or the negotiation time will be used to get Iran closer to the goal of nuclear enrichment.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad knows it is time to put up or shut up. It is only a matter of time before Israel commences a preemptive strike. Perhaps Iranian leaders have realized they do not have enough time to enrich their uranium before a strike by Israel. If Iran can allow the inspectors in, maybe Ahmadinejad can buy enough time to develop the weapons to battle an Israeli attack. With U.S. carriers floating around the water around the country, Ahmadinejad might realize he is between a rock and a hard place without enough time to squirm.

If inspectors do not find evidence of the development of nuclear weapons, Ahmadinejad should realize nobody will believe him and how the world will call him out on diversionary tactics. The fact Iran is requiring guidelines for the inspection is the first point of evidence the world needs to point a figure at Iranian shenanigans. If there was nothing to hide, the inspectors would have been able to pass through the facilities months ago instead of causing international stress and forcing countries to enforce sanctions.

Every moment Iran is able to postpone or divert U.N. inspectors, it is able to get closer to nuclear enrichment. At this point, we should not be asking questions if Iran is working toward nuclear weapons but questions about when it will achieve its goal. Can the inspectors find what they need to in time?
