Excerpt:

Monday saw Iran announce that it would scale back its co-operation with the IAEA in response to the October deadline.

The decision, announced by Iran's representative to the IAEA, suggests that Tehran will co-operate only in areas covered by agreements with the agency.

In recent weeks, IAEA inspectors had been given access to sites not covered in such agreements, but only after several weeks of delays.

If Iran is declared to be in breach of the treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons - the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) - at the next IAEA board meeting in November, the UN Security Council could be asked to get involved.

That could result in economic and political sanctions against Iran.

I say:

Hey, maybe that's the whole point?
