Iran rejects accusations about military site as ‘lies’

The letter says the Iran deal “will advance the cause of peace and security in the Middle East and can serve as a guidepost for future nonproliferation agreements”. “But, you know, we’ve been very clear that the joint agreement that we plan that you can’t hide nuclear activity”. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed lawmakers about the evidence on Monday, three U.S. senators said. Absent an agreement we must assume that Iran can develop one within weeks. Nobody should kid themselves here. The other thing that Iran can do is to lay out the facts.

“And the more harm the better, in the twisted mindset of this regime”.

The Iranian leadership does not have a unified position on the deal.

First, we fully understand that passions run high on both sides of the debate, but that should not be an excuse for personal attacks or inflammatory statements having no factual basis, whether voiced by the deal’s supporters or its opponents. And we were invited to participate in discussions in Washington with President Barack Obama and Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz. While Toomey denied that factored into the timing of his remarks, he said it was important to be heard in Philadelphia, which has a large Jewish and pro-Israel community.

Without engaging the Iranian people and their real representatives in the main organized Iranian opposition, the U.S. policy toward Iran will lack the strategic robustness and depth that it so desperately requires.

“They are certainly not going to see the site that existed”. We don’t need this IAEA process to discover whether or not whether Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon. The report said, “The activities that have taken place at this location since February 2012 are likely to have undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification”.

As a precondition to full sanctions relief, Tehran must provide sufficient information to the IAEA by October 15 to allow it to prepare a final report on its past nuclear programme. “They’ve been misled and harassed”. Second, Iran has 24 hours to accept a request or take up to 14 additional days to propose alternative means to address IAEA concerns. I’d suggest quite a lot.

Under another scenario that senior U.S. officials have studied, Iran would instead begin complying with the accord even if Congress voted it down.

However, he indicated his concerns were not a deal breaker.

Third, the deal’s lifting of sanctions will create an ongoing flow of billions of dollars a year in benefits to Iran-which would be cut off if Iran began moving toward the bomb. In 10 years, I’m pretty sure we’ll have all the same problems, but there’ll be some big differences. “Regarding Iran’s missile activities, it doesn’t order but only asks for Iran’s compliance”. Iran would seem to have its doubts as well, since it’s still trying to cover its tracks.

Common cause with the Iranian hard-liners? “Israel would be thrilled”.

Through the deal, Iran has agreed to limit its nuclear activities in return for the removal of economic sanctions.

“Peace in our time”? This deal did not meet any of the negotiating goals is set out to make. “Everyone thinks it’s a good deal”.
