Iran might be attempting to eliminate incriminating material at its Parchin armed forces installation prior to the potential arrival of U.N. investigators to gather information about possible nuclear-weapon development activities in the country, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano said on Friday.
Anything is possible in the realm of possibilities, however, it is generally accepted that Amano is a U.S. appointee. According to Ambassador Glyn Davies, the U.S. Ambassador to the IAEA:
“Amano reminded [me] on several occasions that he would need to make concessions to the G-77, which correctly required him to be fair-minded and independent, but that he was solidly in the U.S. court on every key strategic decision, from high-level personnel appointments to the handling of Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program.”
