An excellent article from a scholar in the most influential (in International Relations) tertiary institution in the region - S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS).

The nuclear agreement almost looks too easy.

Spoilers may include:

- Iranian ability to "break out" ie quickly add U-235, or Plutonium to the devices and missile delivery means it already has.

- There may not be total consensus in Iran in favour of the agreement. The Revolutionary Guards Corps has staked much in developing the nuclear program and protecting it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Guardians_of_the_Islamic_Revolution#Economic_activity

Hence extensive technical intelligence verification is needed to prevent Iranian factions from cheating.

A crude sigint method used was Site-Meter Collection of Iranian Nuclear Program. A simple sitemeter was used to refute Iranian denial they were not interested in a nuclear weapons program. Refuted through Submarine Matters studying the internet search habits of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran employees.

For example see http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/iranian-nuclear-program-iranian.html :
