President Barack Obama and Iran are finalizing the secretive nuclear deal that has been the subject of much criticism.
Until now the specifics of the controversial negotiations have been largely a mystery. But today, under conditions of anonymity, Obama officials revealed details of the potential pact.
As this point in the negotiations, Iran would cut hardware needed to make an atomic bomb by 40 percent for decade. In exchange, Iran would get immediate relief from multiple economic sanctions, said the sources.
A key point of the pact is the number of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to operate to enrich uranium, a process that leads to nuclear weapons-grade material. According to the sources, the two sides are zeroing in on a cap of 6,000 centrifuges.
Iran originally wanted 10,000 which is the amount they have now. The U.S. agreed to 4,000 centrifuges only a year ago.
Obama officials claim the number of centrifuges alone “misses the point.” Combined with other sanctions, Iran would need a year to produce enough uranium to make a bomb.
This is where is gets disturbing. The U.S. strategy in negotiations seem to be focused on how long it would take Iran to make a nuclear weapon if Iran decides to violate the terms of the deal.
That does not instill a lot of confidence if the entire focus is already centered on Iran’s breach of the agreement.
The most shocking detail released in the lengthy Breitbart article is how close Iran is right now to going nuclear.
“Right now, Iran would require only two to three months to amass enough material if it covertly seeks to ‘break out’ toward the bomb,” it reported.
Combine that with the fact “the deadline for a full agreement is the end of June,” and readers must come to the conclusion that Iran has every incentive to stall the negotiations.
The final terms of any deal will certainly be hotly contested. As Breitbart noted, “Any agreement faces fierce opposition from the U.S. Congress as well as close American allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, which believe the Obama administration has conceded too much.”
So let us sum up: Obama has put the U.S. Congress in the position of agreeing to his terms or rejecting the terms and pushing the timeline back farther.
This is horrifying given that Iran may be only a few months from their goal right now.
These “negotiations” give us great pause about Obama’s ability to protect American interests. The fact that sources are already planning Iran’s violating the agreement is disconcerting at best.
We can only hope that Obama comes to his senses and realizes who is sitting across the negotiating table. But even if he could see, Obama has not persuaded us he is on the same team as the rest of America.
