A report by the Institute for Science and International Security says Iran may be trying once again to clean up the site before an inspection by the U.N.'s nuclear monitor, the International Atomic Energy Agency. But the new report is significant because the IAEA now plans to visit the Parchin site soon, as part of the deal between Iran and six world powers focused on limiting Iran's nuclear programs in exchange for the removal of sanctions.

An elaborate ceremony will be hosted by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi (AHB'-del fat-AH' el-SEE'-see) and attended by foreign dignitaries amid tight security. Economists and shippers have questioned the value of the $8.5 billion project, saying the increased traffic and revenues the government is hoping for will depend more on the growth of world trade than the size of the crucial waterway.
