A former CIA deputy director who served under President Obama has stated that the 6,500 centrifuges that Iran regime is believed to be allowed to keep operating, is sufficient for building a nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n
According to a report by Politifact, Micheal Morell, now a CBS analyst, has said: \u201c\u201cIf you are going to have a nuclear weapons program, 5,000 is pretty much the number you need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just as the March 31 deadline for a political framework for the deal nears, and the negotiators are working to have the final technical details of the deal agreed by June 30, Washington is insisting on a set of provisions that Iran regime should stick to:<\/p>\n
“\u2014 Iran should not be allowed to develop weapons-grade plutonium at its Arak reactor.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iran should not use its Fordo nuclear plant to enrich uranium. That would leave only the Nantanz plant capable of enriching uranium, which at high grades can be used in nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Any deal must ensure that it would take Iran a year to gather enough fissile material to make a bomb.
\u2014 Iran would \u201creduce significantly\u201d its current number of operating centrifuges and its domestic stockpile.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Iran must agree to unprecedented inspections of both nuclear and production facilities as well as uranium mines and mills, and suspect sites.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, late on Friday, U.S. senators introduced legislation requiring congressional review of any deal with Iran over its nuclear program.<\/p>\n
The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act would require President Barack Obama to submit to Congress the text of any agreement within five days of concluding a final deal with Iran. The bill would also prohibit Obama from suspending or waiving sanctions on Iran passed by Congress for 60 days after a deal.<\/p>\n
“It is important that we preserve the integrity of the congressional sanctions,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, a Republican who sponsored the measure with Senator Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the panel, and others.<\/p>\n
The bill creates a “responsible review process that will allow Congress the opportunity to approve or disapprove the agreement before the administration could attempt to remove these sanctions,” Corker said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
