My Comment: Iran wants to blunt the pressure that it will receive from the P5 in tomorrow's Baghdad meeting on their nuclear program. That as far as Iran is concern .... they are showing good faith by permitting the IAEA to investigate "some aspects" of their nuclear program, and as a result deserve some "leeway" from critics of their nuke program.
What is my take .... I have seen this dog and pony show from Iran on more than one occasion .... that pledges from iran are usually revoked by someone else. The Israelis are right to react warily .... if not with outright skepticism.
Update: Iran will not permit the IAEA to visit Parchin .... the military site that many believe is where Iran's nuclear enrichment is taking place.
