This edition of the program is about the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic. The discussion is about Iran’s stance towards IAEA’s pressures, and the country’s attempts to save JCPOA.
Iran’s Nuclear Program A revised Iran nuclear deal based on the 2015 JCPOA could provide the basis for a new Biden administration strategy that would limit Iran’s nuclear program to peaceful purposes and ensure that Tehran’s public pronouncement that it is not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons becomes a de facto reality. Righting the Wrong Regardless of how flawed the 2015
good. jon: nuclear talks in iran are set to restart tomorrow. there is income priest hencible to me. it s income prehencible that ayatollah wants to wipe israel off the face of the earth. that s the little satan, and america is next, the big satan. they are not going to abide by any agreement they sign. jon: secretary of state anthony blinken says the u.s. is on the same page as our allies about iran and other hostile nations. we are much more aligned with pour partners than we were even a year ago, on iran s nuclear
deal meant that i ran s nuclear program was no longer in a box. no longer had the most robust inspection regime ever negotiated, no longer had the tight restrictions on nuclear activity. martha: what do you say to that, sir? yeah, she s living in a fantasy world disconnected from the real world that was the jcpoa. it created a clear path for a nuclear weapon and an entire program of nuclear weapons that the iranians would have had possession. it s seven years on or almost seven years. it was signed in 2015. many of those terms have expired and this administration appears to be begging the iranians to enter an agreement that will run out in a handful of years. it doesn t prevent the risk associated with i ran having a nuclear weapon. we were right to get out and we had four more years, the ayatollah would have been faced with a difficult decision about whether to capitulate at risk to his continued authority or to sign a deal with the trump administration.
into a box to make sure that we could put that problem to the side, as we do with so many other issues that iran presents to us. so no, we have not yet reached that point, but i think that it is very clear that if we do not reach a deal soon, that point will have been reached. then, we will have to think of other ways to address iran s nuclear program. as of today, it is our view, and the view of our european partners. the best way forward is to get back into the deal, if iran is prepared to do its share, and come back into full compliance with its obligations. let me play for you another clip if i can win the un general assembly last fall. it is the israeli prime minister, bennett. he had this to say about iran s nuclear capabilities at the time. iran s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment. and so has our tolerance. words did not stop centrifuges from spinning.
