No.

Prior to the UN Security Counsel passing sanctions against them, all their nuclear facilities were open to all UN inspectors. Since the passing of the sanctions, they have refused to allow American and British inspectors into the country, but have continued to allow all others. Their reason is legit as the US had spies in the Iraqi UN inspection team, and then used information gathered by them to select targets to bomb later on, a clear violation of the terms of the NPT. The situation got so bad, that members of the inspection team, including the head of the inspection team, resigned claiming that the spies were putting their life in danger.

The UN has 180+ other countries to select inspectors from. The inspection team does not need to have Americans and British members. Would the US allow North Korean or Iranian inspectors to inspect our facilities? Or would Israel allow Syrian inspectors to inspect their facilities? Doubtful.




I think there is a better chance of aliens attacking us than Iranians.
Iranians would never directly attack the US on our own soil however they have already and will again attack us on foreign soil. As for the "beat your wife" comment, wtf are you saying It doesn't make any sense.

The only portion I would agree with is the inspector portion as I'm sure we were spying on other groups. However I fully believe that Iran is looking for weapons capabilities, hence their underground "nuclear facilities". There would be no other point if not weapons oriented.
