\"Iran,<\/p>\n

Simultaneous with the ongoing negotiations in Vienna between the Iranian regime and the world powers over the Iran nuclear the majority of the United States House of Representative called for a firm Iran policy.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday a press conference was held to highlight a resolution that had been introduced to the US House of Representatives, which expressed support for the Iranian Resistance movement and condemned a range of malign activities that the Iranian regime is performing outside of the nuclear sphere.<\/p>\n

Although H. Res. 118<\/a> does not mention the nuclear agreement by name, it prominently called for \u201ca democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in April, the Natanz nuclear facility was damaged by an attack. The regime boasted that it was installing more advanced centrifuges at the site and immediately putting them to work enriching uranium to 60 percent fissile purity. It is the highest level of enrichment that the regime is known to have achieved so far, and it is also far beyond the level that it would need for any of the civilian nuclear projects that the regime insists are the sole purpose of its nuclear program.<\/p>\n

When the mullahs\u2019 regime achieved 20 percent enrichment before the start of negotiations that would lead to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, it was widely reported that this put the regime only a short technical step away from the 90 percent purity that would be necessary for the construction of a nuclear weapon. With the advent of 60 percent<\/a>, that step has become substantially shorter, now there is more reason that the agreement never actually reduced the regime\u2019s \u201cbreakout time\u201d to the extent it was supposed to.<\/p>\n

This argument was already in full force soon after Tehran began systematically and publicly violating the deal. To a great extent, those violations took place more quickly than should have been possible if the JCPOA had truly impeded the progress of Tehran\u2019s nuclear development. Iranian state media provided a partial explanation of that situation when it published interviews with Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, in which he blatantly admitted the regime had deceived fellow signatories and the UN\u2019s nuclear monitors by feigning compliance with restrictions on uranium enrichment and plutonium production.<\/p>\n
