Iran Asks IAEA to Remove Chief Inspector

As reported here, "Iran has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to remove the head of the inspection team probing Tehran's nuclear program, U.N. officials said Sunday."

"The inspector, Chris Charlier, has not been back to Iran since April because of Iranian displeasure with his work, the officials said." [Emphasis mine]

So, let me get this straight. Iran, which is determined to develop nuclear weapons - but says it isn't - has asked the IAEA to remove the chief inspector tasked with finding out just what the Iranians really are up to, who has found evidence of clandestine nuclear research, and documents related to a warhead, and the IAEA grants the Iranians their wish? What are they thinking?

I come up with two conclusions here. One is that, Iran is definitely striving to obtain nuclear weapons capability (as I have asserted many times previously), and Mr. Charlier and his team were getting too close for Iranian comfort to discovering the proof of their desires, and the other is that the IAEA is useless in preventing Iran, or any other nation for that matter, from obtaining nuclear weapons technology, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty notwithstanding.
