"The American officials are highly attuned to the findings of a once-classified 2007 National Intelligence Estimate that concluded that Iran ended its headlong race for a bomb in late 2003. But it also concluded that smaller-scale activity continued, and warned that “Iran probably would use covert facilities — rather than its declared nuclear sites — for the production of highly enriched uranium for a weapon.”
As the Monday deadline for a deal nears, it is far from clear that the Iranians will agree to these inspections, or allow them to take place if an agreement is in place. Already, hard-liners in Tehran like Reza Seraj, identified in Iranian news media as the “head of the intelligence faculty of the Revolutionary Guards Corps,” a previously unknown position, is warning of the consequences.
“This will mean they will get permissions for reconnaissance flights over our country and that their inspectors can enter anywhere, even the presidential palace,” Mr. Seraj wrote in a column published by the semiofficial Fars news agency."
