Recently Iran demanded that IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei fire the IAEA’s chief inspector—and ElBaradei jumped to do the mullahs’ bidding. Regime Change Iran has the story, translated from Germany’s Die Welt: Atomic secrets: The man who knew too much.
When Chris Charlier arrived in Iran in April of this year, he was received the same way as had always been the case in each of over 20 visits to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Wherever we went, whatever we did, they always followed us, monitoring us with video cameras and capturing every single one of our conversations. Never letting us out of their sight for a second, watching everything over our shoulder.”
“How the devil were we supposed to rationally do our work” comments the 64-year old Belgian.
Chris Charlier, who heads a team of 15 Atomic Energy inspectors of the IAEA have been inspecting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program since 2003. For the first time a Viennese based inspector speaks openly and under his own name about the conditions under which UN inspectors try to bring to light the darkness surrounding the Iranian nuclear program.
The reason for his outspoken comments is because since April of this year he is for all practical purposes unemployed. Responsible for this is his Vienna based direct superior, Mohammad El-Baradei.
When Baradei went to Tehran in April for consultations, the chief negotiator of the Shiite theocracy, Ali Larijani gave him an ultimatum to fire Chris Charlier.
Mohammad El-Baradei acted swiftly in accepting the demand.
