. * The Guardian had this report late Tuesday evening and it starts off like this… The UN nuclear agency has declared its latest inspection visit to Iran a failure, with the regime blocking access to a key site suspected of hosting covert nuclear weapon research and no agreement reached on how to resolve other unanswered questions… The statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency was issued shortly after an Iranian general warned of a pre-emptive strike against any nation that threatens Iran… "We engaged in a constructive spirit but no agreement was reached," the statement quoted IAEA chief Yukiya Amano as saying… The communique said that Iran did not grant requests by the IAEA mission to visit Parchin, a military site thought to be used for explosives testing related to triggering a nuclear weapon.

IAEA Expert Team Returns from Iran
February 22, 2012
A senior IAEA expert team is returning from Iran after two days of discussions with Iranian officials held on 20 and 21 February 2012. The meeting followed previous discussions held on 29 to 31 January 2012.
.
During both the first and second round of discussions, the Agency team requested access to the military site at Parchin. Iran did not grant permission for this visit to take place.
.
Intensive efforts were made to reach agreement on a document facilitating the clarification of unresolved issues in connection with Iran's nuclear programme, particularly those relating to possible military dimensions. Unfortunately, agreement was not reached on this document.
.
"It is disappointing that Iran did not accept our request to visit Parchin during the first or second meetings," IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said. "We engaged in a constructive spirit, but no agreement was reached."

‘END GAME’ REACHED!
One can make the leap in belief that the Israeli ‘End Game’ has finally been reached. Especially after this latest and most likely last IAEA report.
.
If you have noticed of late… the Dems, all those in the MSM… and President Obama have ALL been telling us that sanctions on Iran have begun to work, that they have actually started to show fruit if I may. But, my friends… it just isn’t so!
.
ALL the sanctions imposed upon Iran over the last so many years… and of late too… have absolutely failed to do a damn thing in stopping Iran on their march to building a Nuclear Weapon.
.
Bottom line… Iran’s actions show us all we need to know about just how well all these sanctions have been working. They haven’t!
.
Sadly this leads me to only one conclusion over all this mess.
.
‘END GAME’
REACHED!
