The briefing focused on concepts for blocking the Iranian regime\u2019s pathways to the bomb in the wake of the JCPOA agreed upon between the P5 + 1 countries and Iran earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion highlighted the flaws and strengths in the JCPOA and underscored the need for a robust verification and enforcement mechanism to prevent the Iranian regime, with a two-decade-long history of denial, deception, and duplicity, from secretly violating the terms of the agreement. The group of distinguished participants included:<br \/>\u00b7 Former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman<br \/>\u00b7 R. James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence<br \/>\u00b7 Amb. Robert Joseph, former Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security<br \/>\u00b7 Amb. Mitchell Reiss, former Policy Planning Director at the Department of State<br \/>\u00b7 Olli Heinonen, former Deputy Director General of the IAEA<br \/>\u00b7 Lawrence J. Haas, senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council<br \/>\u00b7 Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director, the U.S. Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran<br \/>In recalling the Iranian regime\u2019s lack of transparency, Senator Lieberman said, \u201cAt point after point of the last almost three decades, the Islamic Republic of Iran has had a part of their program that we didn\u2019t know about, that the IAEA didn\u2019t know about. In fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about\/our-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>, the group that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\"> Mrs. [Maryam] Rajavi<\/a> heads, has told us about it. So, in my opinion this agreement on its facts is too full of risk for the United States of America, and too full of undeserved reward for the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<br \/>\u201cIran has not changed its nuclear course,\u201d stressed Dr. Heinonen, who described the JCPOC as a \u201cpolitical agreement, which has very far-reaching nonproliferation or proliferation consequences.\u201d He said the agreement will allow Iran to maintain \u201call the infrastructure, [and] be a nuclear threshold state for years to come.\u201d Mr. Heinonen also expressed concern that a 24-day delay for IAEA inspection of the sites would allow Iran to cleanup nuclear weaponization sites, which are small and \u201ccan actually be modified in a couple of weeks\u2019 time.\u201d<br \/>Referring to the critical role of Congress to remedy the \u201cfatal\u201d flaws in the JCPOA, Amb. Joseph emphasized, \u201cCongress should tie the relief of Congressionally-mandated sanctions to Iran\u2019s compliance in meeting its obligations under the agreement. And the burden of proof should be on Iran not on the Security Council or the EU or the P5+1. It should make clear that any cheating, any failure on Iran\u2019s part to meet all of its obligations will result in the termination of the agreement\u2026 Congress should establish a team B, something it\u2019s done in the past, a team B of nonpartisan, outside experts who can have access to all of the intelligence and who can make an independent assessment of Iranian compliance or noncompliance.\u201d<br \/>Amb. James Woolsey said the fundamental problem is the effort to deal with the Iranian regime: \u201cIt is a theocratic, totalitarian, genocidal group of imperialists. Theocratic, hard to see how it\u2019s not and has been for over a third of a century; totalitarian, look at its treatment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">[Mujahedin-e Khalq] MEK<\/a>. And look at what has happened in 2009 when a group, hundreds of thousands of young people and other reformers took to the streets in demonstrations in order to try to see to it that elections were fairly conducted. They were massacred, raped, tortured and massacred.\u201d<br \/>Ambassador Reiss expressed concern for the lack of strategy to counter the Iranian threat, \u201cI worry because the president himself admitted only a few weeks ago that his administration has no strategy for the Middle East, at least one that is not fully formed and can be shared with the American people and our friends and allies in the region.\u201d He added, \u201cCertainly the White House has nothing that can compare with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Madame Rajavi\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0sweeping and positive vision for Iran. [It] has to stand firmly and publicly with the people at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about\/camp-ashraf-liberty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\"> Camp Liberty<\/a> and stand with all Iranians who want a better future for their country and are willing to risk everything to achieve it.\u201d<br \/>\u201cThis agreement is a very unfortunate missed opportunity. We were on the right path before these negotiations started. The sanctions were biting so hard that they were having a real impact on this regime. By some estimates, the Iranian economy through the sanctions and through some potential additional steps we could have taken was close to economic collapse. And we should have kept driving. We should have forced action as a condition of economic relief. We took our foot off the pedal too soon,\u201d Mr. Haas said.<br \/>In echoing the concern expressed by other speakers about the shortcomings in the JCPOA, Alireza Jafarzadeh added, \u201cI think in overall policy, you need to step up pressure from all aspects, not just on the nuclear side and inspections, but bring in more political pressure, hold them accountable for their nefarious activities and terrorism.\u201d Describing the regime as \u201cweak and domestically vulnerable\u201d he said the greatest fear of the regime is \u201cits own population that seeks a secular, democratic, and non-nuclear republic in Iran.\u201d Jafarzadeh concluded that given Tehran\u2019s desperation, \u201cIf you want nuclear compliance with Iran regime, you need to step up pressure. You need to hold them accountable for their rights violations in Iran and all of their rogue behavior in the region,\u201d he concluded.<br \/>Iranian-American Cultural Association of Missouri, member of the Organization of Iranian American Communities (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oiacus.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">www.oiacus.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/nuclear\/18790-sen-lieberman-iran-regime-has-a-record-of-cheating-in-nuclear-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Sen.
