Iranian parliament members who attended a closed-door session with Iranian negotiators say Iran has accepted “managed inspections” of military sites. While the negotiators have denied it, some Iranian media commentators remain unconvinced.
Javad Karimi-Ghodousi, a member of parliament’s influential National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told Fars News Agency on May 24 that Iranian nuclear negotiator and Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said, “Inspections of military sites within the Additional Protocols has been accepted, but these inspections will be managed and this management will be conducted with seriousness.” Iranian negotiators often update members of the committee on the latest rounds of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1).
