My Comment: If Iran compromises on their nuclear program .... it will be a first. What is my take .... I will be surprise if they do permit the UN inspectors in .... especially allowing them access to sites such as their Parchin military complex that is located south of Tehran. But the devil is in the details, and I suspect that in the end Iran is going to balk on the open access provisions that the UN nuclear inspectors will want when they are in the country.
