I've Been Thinking:
Iran's top nuclear official, Ali Akbar Salehi, announced that the head of the UN agency that monitors nukes will be visiting Iran this week.
Yakiya Amano, head of the IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Agency) sent 13 inspectors to Iran earlier this week and according to the Iranians, Amano is to arrive later this week.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also called the Iranian Nuclear Deal, is intertwined with IAEA agreements. The agreements require Iran to stop nuclear development in order for the sanctions to be lifted. In order to make sure that happens, inspectors must be on the ground.
"About 12 or 13 IAEA experts are going to Tehran tonight and Amano will visit in the next three or four days," Salehi said on state television. "We hope the remaining issues are resolved by December 15 so the implementation of the JCPOA can start."
Salehi was referring to the deadline set in a 'road-map' deal Iran reached with the agency alongside the JCPOA.
This is an important visit and we will monitor it closely.
