That is correct. Any sovereign nation would normally only submit itself to inspections from external agents or personnel as the result of a mutually agreed upon treaty or trade agreement.
Businesses within a country would be subject to lawful inspections upon whatever schedule imposed by duly authorized agencies or legislative bodies whose authority the business entity was already under.
Does that seem odd to you?

Well, it certainly should have been, and shame on us for agreeing to anything less!

THEY WERE FOR IT BEFORE THEY WERE AGAINST IT:
On April 7, 2015, President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “under this deal, you will have anywhere, any time 24/7 access as it relates to the nuclear facilities that Iran has.”
Now, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Secretary of State John Kerry said, “This is a term that, honestly, I never heard in the four years that we were negotiating. It was not on the table. There’s no such thing in arms control as any time, anywhere.”
Elsewhere in news from the Bizarro World, does Kerry believe he could use the Iranian deal as a springboard to another presidential run?

I agree with you basically. Certainly on inspections. The Iranians will cheat and the current administration knows it as surely as Kissinger had to know that North Vietnam had no intention of honoring the Paris Peace Accords.

Meanwhile Iran responds to UN acceptance
Iran neither accepts nor rejects UN resolution on the nuke issue. "Talks needed to remove ambiguities,and on implementation," statement says
Iranian statement after UN vote: Islamic Republic has the right to apply or not apply any part of the nuclear deal announced in Vienna.
Iranian statement in 14 sections is an alternative to the text of the UN resolution and SUBSTANTIALLY different.
With Iranian statement,and UN resolutions we have 3 versions of Vienna accord. Which one is Obama going to sell to the Senate? A BIG MESS!
In short, they are saying they wont comply
And surprise?
There will be war

Iran After Obama Nuke Deal: “We Will Trample Upon America”…
T2900988-4424408
Via Free Beacon:
A senior Iranian cleric delivered Friday prayers in Tehran while standing behind a podium that declared, “We Will Trample Upon America,” according to photos released by Iran’s state-controlled media.
Iranian cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani, who was handpicked by the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader to deliver the prayers, delivered a message of hostility toward the United States in the first official remarks since a final nuclear deal was signed between Iran and world powers in Vienna last week.
A Persian-language message on the podium declared, “We will trample upon America” while the English phrase “We Defeat the United States” can be seen underneath.

Kerry: “I Don’t Know How To Interpret” Ayatollah Khamenei’s Anti-American Remarks After Nuclear Deal…
Which is odd, because prior to the nuke deal they were dismissed as being “meant for a domestic audience.”
Ole Col Must Argh is in his basement screaming
DEATH TO AMERICA!
DEATH TO ISRAEL!

Obama cut separate deals with Iran over Parchin and military nukes, hid deals from Congress
Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-Ks) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) have been told by the IAEA at a meeting in Vienna on Friday that President Hussein Obama cut separate deals with Iran over its Parchin military complex (you know, the one they won't show to the IAEA) and its military nuclear program, and then hid the deals from Congress.
“According to the IAEA, the Iran agreement negotiators, including the Obama administration, agreed that the IAEA and Iran would forge separate arrangements to govern the inspection of the Parchin military complex – one of the most secretive military facilities in Iran – and how Iran would satisfy the IAEA’s outstanding questions regarding past weaponization work. Both arrangements will not be vetted by any organization other than Iran and the IAEA, and will not be released even to the nations that negotiated the JCPOA. This means that the secret arrangements have not been released for public scrutiny and have not been submitted to Congress as part of its legislatively mandated review of the Iran deal.”
The American public has not been given all the facts on the Iran deal, nor has congress. This is not only distressing but a violation:
“Even under the woefully inadequate Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, the Obama administration is required to provide the U.S. Congress with all nuclear agreement documents, including all “annexes, appendices, codicils, side
agreements, implementing materials, documents, and guidance, technical or other understandings and any related agreements, whether entered into or implemented prior to the agreement or to be entered into or implemented in the future.”
Both Pompeo and Cotton are U.S. military veterans. Each of them included a personal statement in the press release:

Really! How can it be tolerated that the agreement is HIDDEN?
Senate demands to see Parchin and PMD ('possible military dimensions') deals - UPDATED
The Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - Bob Corker (R-Tn) and Ben Cardin (D-Md) - have demanded from Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz - who was deeply involved in the P5+1 negotiations - that the White House demanding to see the secret agreements whose existence was disclosed on Tuesday by the IAEA to Congressman Bob Pompeo (R-Ks) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).
Fred Fleitz (at that first link) also explains the significance of what's being hidden.
Former Department of Energy official William Tobey explained in a July 15 Wall Street Journal op-ed why it is crucial that Iran resolve the PMD issue. According to Tobey, “for inspections to be meaningful, Iran would have to completely and correctly declare all its relevant nuclear activities and procurement, past and present.”
According to the Cotton/Pompeo press release, there will be a secret, opaque procedure to verify Iran’s compliance with these side agreements. The press release says:
According to the IAEA, the Iran agreement negotiators, including the Obama administration, agreed that the IAEA and Iran would forge separate arrangements to govern the inspection of the Parchin military complex — one of the most secretive military facilities in Iran — and how Iran would satisfy the IAEA’s outstanding questions regarding past weaponization work. Both arrangements will not be vetted by any organization other than Iran and the IAEA, and will not be released even to the nations that negotiated the JCPOA [Iran nuclear agreement].
This means that the secret arrangements have not been released for public scrutiny and have not been submitted to Congress as part of its legislatively mandated review of the Iran deal.
This means that two crucial measures of Iranian compliance with the nuclear agreement will not be disclosed to Congress despite the requirements of the Corker-Cardin bill (the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act), which requires the Obama administration to provide the U.S. Congress with all documents associated with the agreement, including all “annexes, appendices, codicils, side agreements [emphasis added], implementing materials, documents, and guidance, technical, or other understandings and any related agreements, whether entered into or implemented prior to the agreement or to be entered into or implemented in the future.”
It also means that Congress will have no way of knowing whether Iran complied with either side agreement.
...
This is especially troublesome for the PMD issue. I wrote in National Review on June 15 and June 17 that the Obama administration was trying to find a way to let Iran off the hook for past nuclear weapons-related work. It seems to have found a way to do this with a secret procedure shielded from the American public and the U.S. Congress.
Still waiting for the Democrats to stand up to Obama on this. Ben Cardin? Chuck Schumer? The only one I'm betting on is Bob Menendez - he has nothing to lose.
Read the whole thing.
UPDATE 5:59 PM
On Morning Joe on Wednesday morning, State Department Spokesman John Kirby refused to answer questions regarding the existence of side deals that were not shown to Congress.

No less a star than Speaker John Boehner has declared that "a bad deal threatens the security of the American people". He doesn't explain how that can possibly happen.
Ever since the US dropped the first A-bombs on civilians, nuclear weapons have threatened the security of the American people. And that threat was a lot more serious in the 1960's and 1970's than it has ever been since. Iran is a tiny little gnat threat-wise compared to Russia or China.

WAIT A SEC: UN INSPECTORS WILL BE FORCED TO RELY ON SAMPLES PROVIDED BY … IRAN? “In other words, if nuclear inspectors get a hot tip that Iran is conducting (or conducted in the past) atomic-bomb work at a secret site, they don’t get to go to the site themselves and take samples from the soil, the walls, etc, to see if there’s uranium present,” Allahpundit writes at Hot Air. “They get their samples … from Iran. That’s like drug-testing a junkie by asking him to bring a sample from home.”
Plus this: “Exit quotation from Philip Klein: ‘The premise of every Kerry answer is — Iran was the stronger power here, they had all the leverage. We were lucky to get anything.’”
So is Kerry there to make Hillary’s tenure at Foggy Bottom look infinitely better by comparison, or is he setting up his own entry into the Democratic presidential race? Or both?
