Did Iran "cheat"?

There is some uncertainty as to whether Iran did or did not cheat by not revealing earlier the existence of its new uranium enrichment facility.
Scott Ritter says that Iran did not technically cheat.
But here James Acton says it did.
But Sahimi says Iran did not cheat.

See this document (para. 15) from IAEA giving some info.

I'd say Acton is technically right because Code 3.1 of the General Part of the Subsidiary Arrangements cannot be repealed unilaerally, unlike the Additional Protocol, which was implemented voluntarily.
