A Dummy’s Guide to the Interim Nuclear Deal With Iran

Before you react to the right wing pol's reactions, at least try to understand the agreement so far. The crunch is - with no agreement, the Fordow facility will continue to produce bomb material, and they will be not stopped short of carpet nuclear bombing Iran. This sounds like a good idea to the Senator from Illinois who unfortunately represents me - but the fallout will destroy Israel, even if my Senator gets re-elected. "Buried underneath a mountain to protect it from air strikes, Fordow is currently home to thousands of centrifuges. But per the terms of the Lausanne agreement, Iran has agreed not to carry out any enrichment activities at the site for 15 years. It will instead repurpose it as a nuclear, physics, and technology research center. During that time period, the site will not be home to any fissile material." For Iran’s interlocutors — the so-called P5+1: the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and Germany — the changes at Fordow represent a significant victory, one that hampers Iran’s path to a bomb."
