Associated Press reporters are defending their scoop this week that Iran would be allowed to self-inspect its own facilities under the nuclear agreement, after some in the media trashed that story and openly accused the AP of being duped.

Several media figures suggested Friday that the story is erroneous, with a few going so far as to suggest on social media that AP had been duped by Israeli agents. “Could it be that #Israel stands behind leaking this document to #AP?” asked Said Arikat of Al-Quds, a pan-Arab daily newspaper.
