Well the AP have substantially modified and cut their story since publication. It's really a non-story.

It's beyond belief because it was a badly flawed story .

http://www.vox.com/2015/8/20/9182185...ctions-parchin - Here's a decent explainer of the issue - with input from weapons treaty experts.

"This came down to a pissing contest about whether or not we could go walk into Parchin, which is irrelevant," Aaron Stein, an arms control and Middle East scholar, told me last month about the negotiations over PMD and Parchin. "In the deal they're going to give managed access to Parchin, and you know what? We're going to lose on this because they're not going to find anything at Parchin. All of this will come down to nothing."
