There's news coming out of Iran today that's tailor-made for conspiracy
theories: According to The Associated Press, officials have confirmed that
an IAEA inspector has died and another was severely injured in a car
accident in central Iran. (Here's a report from the Iranian press as well.)
Think about it: Mysterious car crash? Check. Death of inspector who worked
at an agency which hasn't been on the best terms with Iran? Check. The
inspector's death comes ahead of talks between the IAEA and Iran? Check.
The AP reports, "The official news agency IRNA says the International Atomic
Energy Agency inspector died when the car in which he was riding overturned
around noon near a heavy water reactor being built in Khondab."
Details are scant and still coming in right now, but if you've been paying
attention to Iran's nuclear talks and compliance (or lack thereof) with the
United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency, you'll know the
two haven't been on the best of terms. Back in February, Iran had shut out
the IAEA from accessing its Parchin site, and back in March, the six world
powers called upon Iran to allow access to its secret site. The AP adds, "
Tuesday's crash comes ahead of a new round of technical talks between Tehran
and the IAEA to be held in Vienna on May 13-14."
According to some of the initial reports, the inspectors are believed to be
from South Korea and Slovakia.
