After they were caught, they did it again.
They've demonstrated twice that they will do this.
They will do it again if they think they can get away with it.
At this point, the IAEA has to be able to inspect any site.
Otherwise, it's a bad deal, and Obama's claim that their breakout time is a year has no basis in fact.

Iran has no need for nuclear energy - it's expensive, dirty, and dangerous. They would be better off giving it up entirely. Instead, they are causing a nuclear arms race with their neighbors. And they know it.
