While the focus of the Iran nuclear deal issue will be in the US Congress in the upcoming weeks, according to The Times of Israel, the Director-General of Israel’s foreign ministry, Dore Gold, was on a visit to Berlin this week where he met his German counterpart.

In the meetings, he reportedly stressed that “there is no indication Iran is undergoing a process of moderation with regard to its regional actions, rather the opposite,” said a statement from the foreign ministry.

“Moreover, he expressed concern that the immense financial resources Iran is set to have at its disposal as a result of the deal will be directed to fund terror and will contribute to the regional instability,” the statement says.

Israel worries that ISIL''s atrocities and savvy media strategy are distracting attention from what it considers the much larger threat in the region. ''''Europeans also appear more interested in exploiting business opportunities in Iran once sanctions are lifted than confronting the security threat it may pose,'''' writes Politico.eu.

One of Israel’s main concerns regarding the Iran nuclear deal, signed between the world powers and Iran in Vienna, relates to the inspection and monitoring mechanisms whih it said ‘’are not robust enough.’’

In some cases, the current agreement allows Iran up to 24 days of advance notice to anticipate inspections. In which case, Gold, a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations and longtime foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said, “Any incriminating evidence in undeclared sites is going to be sanitized.”

An exclusive report by the Associated Press (AP) this week says that Iran will be allowed to use its own inspectors to investigate the Parchin nuclear site it has been accused of using to develop nuclear arms, operating under a secret side agreement with the U.N.''s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that normally carries out such work.

AP said it saw the document.

The newly disclosed side agreementis linked to persistent allegations that Iran has worked on atomic weapons. That investigation is part of the overarching nuclear-limits deal.

Evidence of the inspections concession is sure to increase pressure from U.S. congressional opponents before a Senate vote of disapproval on the overall agreement in early September. If the resolution passes and President Barack Obama vetoes it, opponents would need a two-thirds majority to override it.

The Parchin agreement was worked out between the IAEA and Iran. The United States and the five other world powers were not party to it but were briefed by the IAEA and endorsed it as part of the larger package.

All IAEA member countries must give the agency some insight into their nuclear programs. Some are required to do no more than give a yearly accounting of the nuclear material they possess. But nations— like Iran — suspected of possible proliferation are under greater scrutiny that can include stringent inspections.

The agreement in question diverges from normal procedures by allowing Tehran to employ its own experts and equipment in the search for evidence of activities it has consistently denied — trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Olli Heinonen, who was in charge of the Iran probe as deputy IAEA director general from 2005 to 2010, said he could think of no similar concession with any other country.

The White House has repeatedly denied claims of a secret side deal favorable to Tehran. IAEA chief Yukiya Amano told Republican senators last week that he was obligated to keep the document confidential.

Iran has refused access to Parchin for years and has denied any interest in — or work on — nuclear weapons. Based on U.S., Israeli and other intelligence and its own research, the IAEA suspects that the Islamic Republic may have experimented with high-explosive detonators for nuclear arms.

The IAEA has cited evidence, based on satellite images, of possible attempts to sanitize the site since the alleged work stopped more than a decade ago.

The document seen by the AP is a draft that one official familiar with its contents said doesn''t differ substantially from the final version. He demanded anonymity because he wasn''t authorized to discuss the issue in public.

The document is labeled "separate arrangement II," indicating there is another confidential agreement between Iran and the IAEA governing the agency''s probe of the nuclear weapons allegations.

Iran is to provide agency experts with photos and videos of locations the IAEA says are linked to the alleged weapons work, "taking into account military concerns."

That wording suggests that — beyond being barred from physically visiting the site — the agency won''t get photo or video information from areas Iran says are off-limits because they have military significance.

While the document says the IAEA "will ensure the technical authenticity" of Iran''s inspection, it does not say how.

The draft is unsigned but the proposed signatory for Iran is listed as Ali Hoseini Tash, deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council for Strategic Affairs. That reflects the significance Tehran attaches to the agreement.

According to the AP report, IAEA spokesman Serge Gas said the agency had no immediate comment.
