"The IAEA's admitting that its request for access to Iran's facilities should be based on its independent analysis and by providing the requested access, the IAEA would have no other question or request for another access to places except those mentioned, made the US disappointed with regard to taking the issue of Iran's safeguards to the UN Security Council," Bayeedinejad wrote on his Twitter page on Wednesday.
