Despite promises by President Obama that Iranian cheating on a new treaty will be detected, verifying Tehran’s compliance with a future nuclear accord will be very difficult if not impossible, arms experts say.
“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action will not be effectively verifiable,” said Paula DeSutter, assistant secretary of state for verification, compliance, and implementation from 2002 to 2009.
Obama said Saturday that the framework nuclear deal reached in Switzerland would provide “unprecedented verification.”
International inspectors “will have unprecedented access to Iran’s nuclear program because Iran will face more inspections than any other country in the world,” he said in a Saturday radio address.
“If Iran cheats, the world will know it,” Obama said. “If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it. So this deal is not based on trust, it’s based on unprecedented verification.”
But arms control experts challenged the administration’s assertions that a final deal to be hammered out in detail between now and June can be verified, based on Iran’s past cheating and the failure of similar arms verification procedures.
A White House fact sheet on the outline of the future agreement states that the new accord will not require Iran to dismantle centrifuges, or to remove stockpiled nuclear material from the country or convert such material into less dangerous fuel rods.
The agreement also would permit continued nuclear research at facilities built in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which Iran signed in 1970 but has violated repeatedly since at least the early 2000s.

Obama depends on it not being verifiable. And his lapdog Media will cover for him at every turn. Whatever he tells them, they will report as truth.
This sham is just another gigantic waste of tax payers dollars.
How many “Mid-East” deals have their been in the last 60 years? How many of them have been lasting and done any good? Like I said...
One wonders why they even bother.
Obama’s media will report his every word as verified truth from Mount Olympus and they will still be worshiping him as their flesh is stripped from their bodies by a nuclear detonation.
Obama Doctrine , Lie, Cheat and Delay until it’s Too Late
“If Iran cheats, the world will know it,” Obama said. “If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it. So this deal is not based on trust, it’s based on unprecedented verification.” ....
Seems that was a problem some time back when all those inspections were supposed to be taking place. The big problem back then was getting inspectors IN to do the inspecting. Do the liberals think anything has or will change?
nobama: “So this deal is not based on trust, it’s based on unprecedented verification.”
Hummm... where have we heard that before?
As I wrote on another thread, this sham is just another gigantic waste of tax payers dollars.
How many “Mid-East” deals have their been in the last 60 years? How many of them have been lasting and done any good? Like I said...
One wonders why they even bother.
... Until and unless there is a Republican elected to the POTUS. If a democrat is elected, the MSM will not report on the bad deal until a device is set off in Israel. If a Republican is elected in 2016, we will hear immediately how dangerous things are and whose fault it is.
But there is absolutely zero chance that we will not be able to inspect things. Obama is 100% sure that we can "trust" Iran to let inspectors in to inspect event though "this deal is not based on trust".
I think what Obama is saying here is that we are going to either send in special ops forces (ie - ST6)with the inspection teams or we are going to bomb Iran into submission if they deny access for inspectors. Right?
And no surprise checks, of course.........
Even if this deal ‘goes bad’ and we attempt to resume sanctions - we've lost.
For Iran the ‘worst case’ is the ‘best case’. It's a win-win for Iran.
Why?
Say Iran refuses to allow inspectors. Only dog and pony show inspections and both sides ‘end the agreement’. We pull out. What happens? Iran builds the bomb, the United States resumes ‘sanctions’ without the rest of the world participating and Iran's got the total win they wanted and we don't have crap.
In the long run Israel will be hit, the whole ME will get ‘the bomb’ or many nukes/bombs, and the world will fall into war... We'll be hit with a nuke...
Westley Clark isn’t an expert?
I’m shocked...
"You Lie!"
