No Holds Barred: Iran deal secrets slowly leaking out

Just as the deal with Iran was signed last month – even before we’d seen its myriad details – we all feared the worst. In the weeks since, however, even more serious suspicions have been all but confirmed.

 

It was bad enough to read that Iran would have a minimum of 24 days’ notice before any inspections, enough time for the mullahs to, in the words of Olli Heinonen, the former deputy director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), “sanitize the place, make new floors, new tiles on the wall, paint the ceiling and take out the ventilation.”

 

It was likewise troubling to hear that the deal would leave 5,060 centrifuges at Natanz and another 1,000 at Fordow operational, while placing no restrictions on Iran’s research and development of newer, faster machines.

 

It was frightening, too, to see that Iran’s development program for intercontinental ballistic missiles – designed as they are to strike the American homeland – wouldn’t be hindered in the slightest.
