The final elements of a deal are unknown. Its very hard to predict at this stage but however i think theres widespread agreement among u. S. Nuclear experts that the general contours of a good deal with established limits on irans programs that, taken together, would limit the size of the stockpile of enriched uranium at the number of centrifuges that iran could keep to ensure that this combination would leave iran approximately one year away from being able to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a bomb. It would also be modifications to the fordow facility into a research into the site and modifications to the arak heavywater reactor to make sure it is no longer capable to produce the amount of plutonium necessary to make a nuclear weapon. In addition to these account for proliferation benefits, preventing and Iran Nuclear Weapon would also result in another key benefit, the heading off of the regional arms race. It also would serve to strengthen the global nonproliferation sys
Israel or in afghanistan. I think its important to understand the extent to which common interest between societies can be explored. President of palm has clearly invested a lot of Political Capital in his talks i think the opposite is true that president rouhani has invested even more in the negotiations. Is this a make or break moment for him . What are the implications if there is or isnt a deal for the future of the rest of his term and what are the effects of the other issues like human rights . I think for mr. Rouhani it is not what i would call a break or make but if this were to fail in a very negative way it clearly would undermine his decision. His agenda on these other issues on advancing social development and rights would really have to be put on the back burner. Its unclear what would happen to the foreign minister who is the public face of the negotiations whether or not he could survive a failure in talks. But beyond that i think it wouldnt spell the end to mr. Rouhani
Each other come it is easier to save note has come to a test so to signal the willingness to sending a letter had that calculation to prove but now it is time for iran to also be serious. Three or four letters sent what about on syria . But iran has not participated in the geneva conferences with the information in with that background and then including iran and the process . With that background noise with that will tie Lateral Group and i can understand the political difficulties include the area and at that point but i do think most of come to the conclusion that a political settlement cannot be reached without participation and in some way but the geneva process is the right forum for the u. S. To be engaging on the subject and it could actually happen before the new deal is completed. But signals from iran on this issue, to put forward the 4. Plan and it closely matches will we have been hearing what they said about what needed to be done to reach us settlement. In there is a lot
But theres another narrative that says that no, negotiations have to be tried because their common interest to the world is changing. The main threat in the region as defined by ran itself is not the United States but it is actually isis. Add that if there is a real negotiation and if there is a given day, if i ran into a strategic utility to the United States, a to relationship can emerge. If these negotiations collapse it will be the indication of the wrong narrative and that will put back into charge the people in iran who prefer to drive a more confrontational foreign policy, visavis the est. I had two questions. Been talking a lot about the difference in kind of the u. S. And iran, the cooperation if this deal were to go forward. Im just kind of wondering, other than these neutral interests, what is the part of the u. S. Gains from this deal . And also there was some mention the hit the gulf states will take if the oil prices would drop. I think mr. Hill said three or four years o
