The Nuclear Experts are quite impressed with the terms of the Iran negotiations. There are quite a few experts talking about the deal in the article above. We need to get beyond the Political noise and War Monger views.
Joseph Cirincione,
president of of Ploughshares Fund, a global security foundation, and
former director for nonproliferation at the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace: "The agreement does three things. It
blocks all of Iran's pathways to a nuclear bomb. It imposes tough
inspections to catch Iran should it try to break out, sneak out, or
creep out of the deal. And it keeps our coalition united to enforce the
deal. Under this deal, Iran has agreed to rip out two-thirds of its
centrifuges and cut its stockpile of uranium gas by 97 percent. It will
not be able to make any uranium or plutonium for a bomb. Many of the
restrictions in the agreement continue for 25 years and some—like the
inspections and the ban on building nuclear weapons—last forever."
Frank von Hippel, an expert with Princeton's Science and International Security Program:
According to the McClatchy Washington Bureau, "Frank von Hippel said he
was surprised that Iran had accepted an enrichment level of 3.67
percent and hadn't insisted on 5 percent. 'There are still details to be
filled in, but I like it a lot,' von Hippel said on the framework…'On
transparency, it looks like they really are doing a lot.'"
