Quote:Secondly, this agreement does nothing to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon, and, in fact, gives them plenty of additional cash to do so. 
This agreement is a total capitulation to Iran. Basically we received nothing. They agreed only to not take steps to build a bomb, but there is no verification that they will live up to that promise. How much is a promise from a religious extremist worth, especially when that religion encourages lying to non-believers?

"The deal does this: Iran will give up the bulk of its nuclear program, namely its enriched uranium (nuclear fuel) and its centrifuges (which turn fuel into weapons material). That will leave it with a program way too small to build a bomb.

 

"Iran will also submit to extremely invasive inspections. That's to make sure it isn't cheating, for example by sneaking nuclear material off to some secret facility and developing a bomb there. The idea is that Iran knows it can't get away with cheating, and will be punished if it does, so it won't try.

 

"In exchange, the world will remove a lot of the economic sanctions it's placed on Iran, and Iran gets to keep just enough of a nuclear program that it can save face.

 

"The provisions generally last at least 10 years, with some of them lasting 25 years, so this could be around for a long time.

 

"If the deal works, it will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, it will ease Iran's economic suffering, and it will make war less likely — huge improvements. Arms control experts tend to say this is about the best we could get.

 

"If the deal fails, then we will back where we are now, except that it will be much harder to reimpose those tough economic sanctions. That's a possibility, and deal critics have reason to worry. But this is almost certainly the world's best chance for averting both war and a nuclear Iran..."

"The first person I called when negotiators in Vienna released the final text of the Iran nuclear deal was Aaron Stein, a nuclear nonproliferation expert at the Royal United Services Institute. Stein is a prolific writer and commenter on nuclear issues, and particularly on Iran's nuclear program. (He is also doctoral fellow at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and a non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council.) And he is a die-hard wonk — someone who cares first and foremost about understanding the issues, rather than about picking a side."

 

""it makes the possibility of Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next 25 years extremely remote.""
