Must Read--Max Fisher's article on the IAEA Inspection of Parchin Site

++Josh Marshall reminds us that nuclear issues are complicated. He was referring to the political pundits responding to the erroneous AP story saying that the IAEA would allow Iran to self-monitor a site where it is alleged that there were explosions conducted in 2002 under the supervision of a Russian nuclear scientist. 

++Jonathan Alter wrote that this story was a game-changer because it was a separate deal between the IAEA and Iran and that this doomed the Iranian deal. This story is getting full blown coverage in Israel. 

++Unfortunately, it is like the Times story on Hillary's server. The AP has had to change it almost hourly.

++In VOX, Max Fisher explains what the story is and is not and how nuclear arms control experts don't believe it its relevant to the credibility of the Iranian nuclear deal.

++Josh Marshall reminds us that it is best to consult real experts on these subjects rather than the Beltway pundits.
