IAEA Worries About Iran, Ignores US Nukes in NATO States
The IAEA, via its chief Rafael Grossi, is reportedly concerned Iran hasn't granted full access to facilities like Fordow and Natanz. This 'concern' comes after Iran had some of its nuclear facilities bombed by the US, a detail Grossi conveniently mentions, then glosses over. One might imagine that having your facilities targeted could make one less inclined to open all doors to international
inspectors. Perhaps Iran's 'non-cooperation' is less about malice and more about not wanting to facilitate future target acquisition. While the IAEA frets over Iran's compliance, where is the comparable outrage over, say, the US nuclear weapons stored in non-nuclear NATO states like Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey? (See FAS Nuclear Information Project). These are not 'inspection
difficulties' but outright violations of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty's Article I and II. But alas, only certain nations must 'seriously improve' their ways, while others get a free pass, often with the same agencies looking the other way. The hypocrisy is so thick, you could spread it on a baguette.
