It's Possible to Be Less Cooperative?

Iran is unhappy with the wimpy attention being focused on them lately:

A nuclear official said Friday Iran will not answer to the U.N. nuclear watchdog about its plans to build 10 new uranium enrichment sites beyond the barest minimum required under the international nonproliferation treaty.


The comments by Abolfazl Zohrehvand, an adviser to the country's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, came days after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran was considering whether to scale back cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after it approved a resolution censuring Iran over its nuclear program.

So let me get this straight. Iran is in the IAEA, which means it is supposed to only pursue civilian nuclear energy programs. But even as a state within the IAEA, Iran is seeking to get nuclear weapons.

So how exactly could Iran be less cooperative?
