misrepresentation. The OP gives the impression that "Iran will do its own nuclear inspections", and that simply is not true. The arrangement between the IAEA and Tehran relates only to past military activity, and that UN inspectors, including IAEA Director Yukiya Amano would be on site to supervise the Iranians at every step of the way.
