UN Says Iran Rejected Inspection of Military Base

[allemand]

VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran (news - web sites) rejected a request by U.N. nuclear inspectors to return to its Parchin military base, where Washington suspects Iran might have conducted tests linked to nuclear bomb-making, the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Tuesday.

Several months after their initial requests, Iran permitted U.N. inspectors to visit Parchin in January. During this visit, inspectors told Iranian officials they would like to visit an area not covered in that inspection, the agency said.

Deputy chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Pierre Goldschmidt, quoted Iran's response in a speech to the agency's board as saying: "The expectation of the (IAEA) in visiting specified...points in Parchin Complex are fulfilled and there is no justification for an additional visit."

What would Faux News say if the U.N. attempted to inspect U.S. military facilities -- say, perhaps, Los Alamos or White Sands?

They have WMD and have attacked their Neighbors, isn't that the criteria
