The agreement, however, would not require Iran to stop enriching uranium to a level of 3.5 percent or dismantle any of its existing centrifuges."
Well,
the only diplomatic solution that would work is one that fully dismantles
Iran's nuclear weapons program and prevents it from having one in the future.
President
Obama rightly said that Iran's conciliatory words must be matched by
transparent, verifiable and meaningful action. And to be meaningful, a
diplomatic solution would require Iran to do four things. First, cease all
uranium enrichment. This is called for by several Security Council resolutions.
Second, remove from Iran's territory the stockpiles of enriched uranium. Third,
dismantle the infrastructure for nuclear breakout capability, including the
underground facility at Qom and the advanced centrifuges in Natanz.
And,
four, stop all work at the heavy water reactor in Iraq aimed at the production
of plutonium. These steps would put an end to Iran's nuclear weapons program
and eliminate its breakout capability.
Winston Churchill: Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonour. They chose dishonour. They will have war.
The actual transcript of Obama's remarks on the Iranian nuclear
deal:
The
settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in
my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find
peace. This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler,
and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. Some of
you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read
it to you: ' ... We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German
Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war
with one another again.'
