NYT's:

Three months after the United Nations Security Council enacted its harshest sanctions yet against Iran, global nuclear inspectors reported Monday that the country has dug in its heels, refusing to provide inspectors with information and access they need to determine whether the real purpose of Tehran’s program is to produce weapons.

For several weeks the Obama administration has argued that the sanctions are beginning to bite, cutting off Iran’s access to more foreign capital, halting investment in its energy sector and impeding its ability to send its ships in and out of some foreign ports. While there are strong indications that Iran is beginning to feel pain — largely from additional sanctions imposed by the United States and European and Asian nations over the summer — the report from the International Atomic Energy Agency indicates that so far, the sanctions have failed to force Iran to comply with longstanding inspectors’ requests.

The report, in its conclusion, declared that Tehran “has not provided the necessary cooperation to permit the agency to confirm that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.” And as many reports have done in the past, it called on Iran to increase its cooperation.

Don't they seem to be following the Saddam playbook on how to handle inspectors?
I wonder if the results will be similar?
