Which was 0bummer’s stupid deal.
Now that they have enough to create a few bombs, they are willing to reduce production. I think that train has left the station.
As the article admits, until the enrichment is >90% it can’t go boom.
So, why are we wasting any effort or negotiating capital on anything below that? What are we giving up that we could have if we quit talking about anything below 90%? This is asinine.
Apparently, there is money involved in wasting such effort. So, who is profiting?
How much do you trust the UN IAEA?
The ONLY military threats to Iran, are from the one nation whose very existence the Mullahs threaten to eliminate - Israel. Minus the ability to make good on that threat, the Mullahs have no security needs for which to pursue nuclear weapons. An Iran that was minus the Mullahs would be neither a threat to, nor threatened by, anyone.
Perhaps Trump is buying to time to let things play out behind the scenes. The Rial is worthless. It’s over 1,000,000 rial to a $. The IRG isn’t getting paid. Iran has lost Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, and soon the Houthis. The mullahs are on borrowed time.
In the final stage, the report said, Iran would transfer stockpiles of highly enriched uranium to a third country, the US Congress would ratify the nuclear deal, and the Trump administration would lift primary and secondary sanctions.
Now just who would be the third party ??
His feckless weakness over Ukraine is apparently being joined with caving in to the mullahs as well.
On foreign policy at least, we're getting Donald "J is for Jimmy Carter" Trump.
Naw.
Iran needs to do better than the 2015 deal. They have to go be guarantees of non-terrorism support and non-piracy. So, no Hezbolla, Al Quesda, Hamas, Houthis, or any other Islamic terrorist organization. Should they violate it, they accept unrestricted warfare and its consequences to Iran and its people.
The will say ‘no’ and then Trump will have said he tried negotiations and they failed. Takes longer, ends same way.
An agreement structured around an “enrichment cap” would be a relic of the misguided Obama-era mindset. If America embraces such a naïve proposition, we won’t just be compromising our strength — we’ll be signaling to the world that we’ve chosen the path of “peace through weakness”.
anyone interested in this subject should look up the words ...

concerns the enrichment of uranium.
most of the work to get to 90 is done by the time
you get to 3.5
