TEHRAN -- Iran said it will give the U.N. nuclear watchdog access to its Parchin military complex, the Iranian ISNA news agency reported on Tuesday, a site where it is believed Tehran pursued high explosives research relevant to nuclear weapons.
The report came after President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ended two days of public posturing on Iran without appearing to make much progress. Obama wants Israel to refrain from attacking Iran now, and Netanyahu pointedly refused to make that promise.

There will be snarling and gnashing from Israel,but yes I think it does change the situation.
Israel need to undesrstand that they are not the only people that matter.
So long as Iran stays below the 80-90% enrichment,then they are not producing weapons.
I'm not saying that the situation shoudn't be scrutinised closley and continously, but i think an attack
scenario is definately receding.

Israelis are NOT that stupid to cave into the "cat and mouse" game that the iranians are playing it.
The history of the Israeli nuclear project is still shrouded in a great deal of secrecy. As part of Israel's policy of nuclear opacity, Israel's military censorship prohibits publication of any factual Israeli-based information on the nuclear project. Consequently, only fragmentary bits and pieces of information on the topic have ever been published, and most commonly only in the form of unconfirmed press reports by the non-Israeli press.

Amnesty International has accused the Israeli authorities of subjecting jailed nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by holding him in solitary confinement.
The 56-year-old, who spent 18 years in prison for revealing details of the country's nuclear arsenal to a UK newspaper in 1986, was sent back to jail for three months on 23 May on charges of contact with a foreign national, and almost immediately placed in solitary confinement.

I am fully aware of the possability of other sites, but Rome wasn't built in a day either, Inspectors
need time to gain trust and establish a relationship.
How many sites do Israel have and when was the last time that IAEA was invited to inspect them?

guess what, Parchin is the NEW UNKNOWN site.And by unknown, i mean UNKNOWN as a site for nuclear activities, NOT unknown as a place.
Now, they will give acces to Parchin...this means there is ANOTHER UNKNOWN site.
