The Times of Israel reports today that it has seen a secret side agreement to the Iran nuclear deal that calls for Iran to provide its own photos, videos, and environmental samples to inspectors. “This agreement is separate from the much-broader Iran nuclear deal signed by Iran, the US, and five other world powers in July,” reports the Times.

Most of the conditions of the side agreement pertain to the Parchin military site, where Iran is believed to have pursued nuclear weapons development in the past.
The United States helped negotiate the side agreement on #Parchin between #Iran and the #IAEA, senior administration official said in April.

In the secret side deal with #Iran, there's a lot of "Iran will provide" clauses. http://t.co/MYAapESeSy #IranDeal

Israel’s ambassador to the United States had his own analogy to explain the nature of the side agreement.
Letting Iran send samples to the IAEA is like letting an athlete suspended for drugs send in his own urine sample http://t.co/b8839bz5Ci

It is unacceptable for the administration to leave a side agreement out of their #IranDeal disclosure to Congress. http://t.co/qBPVkih2SY

The side agreement allowing #Iran to inspect it's own nuclear sites make #IranDeal a non-starter. @SenateDems Vote no and let's move on.

This B.S. side agreement to #BadIranDeal should convince a sane person it is not time to withdraw from Usless Nations but disband it!

Iran will monitor…itself…JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE HAD SEEN IT ALL! This is the "side" agreement Kerry was "briefed on"? @realDonaldTrump

Until very recently, the White House denied the existence of the Iran side deals. Take a look at why: http://t.co/fBCuISUayJ.
