(Institute for Science and International Security) David Albright and Andrea Stricker - On Nov. 13, 2017, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released its eighth report on its verification and monitoring of the Iran nuclear deal. The report is once again so sparse in detail that it is impossible to conclude that Iran is fully complying with the JCPOA. The IAEA still has not pushed for access to military sites in Iran where military-related nuclear activities are alleged to have taken place. The IAEA's limited interpretation of its mandate to verify the JCPOA must be viewed as a stunning reversal of safeguards practices applied in countries such as South Africa and Taiwan, where it has periodically revisited sites associated with past nuclear weapons work. David Albright is founder and president of ISIS, where Andrea Stricker is a senior policy analyst.
