[Washington DC]President Obama Erect To Curb Iran’s Destructive Nuclear Ambitions
President Barack Obama, Says “We have an historic opportunity to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in Iran, and to do so peacefully, with the international community firmly behind us. We should seize that chance.”
After more than 16 months of diplomatic work, the U.S. and the international community have come to a historic understanding with Iran on its nuclear program
Speaking from the Rose Garden at the White House, President Obama laid out exactly how this deal will block Iran’s pathways to a bomb:
1] It stops Iran from using plutonium to build a bomb.
The core of Iran’s reactor at Arak will be dismantled and replaced and Iran will never reprocess fuel form its exisitng reactors.
2]It shuts down the path to building a bomb through enriched uranium.
Not only will a vast majority of Iran’s uranium stockpile be neutralized, but the number of installed centrifuges they use will be reduced by two-thirds and one of its facilities will have to shutter its doors for good.
3] It will prevent Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon in secret.
The framework puts in place the most unprecedented transparency and robust, intrusive inspections of any nuclear program in history. International inspectors will have unhindered access to every facility and every part of the supply chain that supports Iran’s nuclear program. So, as President Obama said, “If Iran cheats, the world will know.”
In return, the international community will provide Iran with relief from specific sanctions — relief that will be expressly tied to the steps they take in adherence to this deal.
“If Iran violates the deal, sanctions can be snapped back into place,” the President said. “Meanwhile, other American sanctions on Iran for its support of terrorism, its human rights abuses, its ballistic missile program, will continue to be fully enforced.”
That framework is in place, and now negotiators will work to figure out how to implement this framework by the end of June. If Iran fails to comply or backslides on any part of the agreement, the deal is off.
