Iran nuclear deal seen reducing bomb risk despite Israeli criticism

r


(Reuters) - Denounced by Israel as a "bad deal", a breakthrough agreement between Iran and six world powers to restrain its nuclear program should nevertheless make it significantly harder for the Islamic state to build any atomic bomb.

By halting Iran's most sensitive enrichment of uranium, Sunday's interim accord is designed to stop the expansion of Iranian atomic activities and buy time for negotiations on a final settlement of the decade-old nuclear dispute.

However, Iran will for now retain thousands of centrifuges refining uranium - albeit only to concentrations far below that needed for nuclear weapons - and a stockpile that could potentially be used for bombs if processed much more.

"The short-term deal accomplishes a great deal," nuclear proliferation expert David Albright of the U.S. Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) said.

For example, he said, it would eliminate Iran's stock of uranium gas refined to a fissile purity of 20 percent, a source of deep concern for the West as it represents a relatively short technical step away from bomb-grade material.

Under the agreement, Iran must halt this higher-grade enrichment and also dilute or convert its existing reserve of such uranium to a form that is not suitable for further enrichment, according to a U.S. fact sheet.

Once this is done, the breakout time - how long it would take Iran to produce sufficient highly-enriched uranium for one atomic bomb - would lengthen from at least 1-1.6 months to at least 1.9-2.2 months if the Iranians used all their installed centrifuges, Albright said in an e-mail.

"This may seem a small increase, but with the IAEA daily checking the camera film at Natanz and Fordow, this increase in breakout times would be significant," he said, referring to the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran has committed to grant IAEA inspectors daily access to its underground enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordow, its most controversial nuclear sites, the U.S. fact sheet said.

"This access will provide even greater transparency into enrichment at these sites and shorten detection time for any non-compliance," it said.

The U.N. watchdog, tasked with ensuring that no nuclear material is diverted for military purposes in member states, is currently believed to visit these plants about once a week.

"This agreement virtually eliminates the possibility of Iran dashing towards a nuclear weapon without prompt detection by the U.N. nuclear inspectors," said Ali Vaez of the International Crisis Group think-tank.

But analysts caution that no one can rule out the existence of secret nuclear sites in Iran without it agreeing to let the IAEA conduct snap inspections anywhere beyond declared atomic installations under the agency's Additional Protocol regime.

Diplomats say they have no clear indication that Iran harbors any such clandestine facility now but - given Tehran's previous concealment of some nuclear sites from the IAEA - world powers are expected to seek Iranian adoption of the Additional Protocol as part of a broad, final settlement.

Refined uranium can be used to fuel nuclear power plants - Iran's stated goal - but can also provide the fissile core of an atomic bomb. Iran denies accusations that it is seeking the capability to make nuclear weapons.

"The first phase of the agreement ensures that Iran will not make any further progress towards a bomb while we continue to negotiate a complete end to the program," said Joseph Cirincione of the Ploughshares Fund group, which opposes the spread of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.

VERIFICATION "LANDMINES"

Israel, believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed state, made clear already before this week's talks in Geneva between Iran and the United States, Russia, France, Britain, Germany and China that it opposed the proposals on the table.

The Jewish state sees Iran as a mortal threat and wants it to dismantle all its enrichment infrastructure.

The agreement "grants Iran exactly what it wanted - both a significant easing in sanctions and preservation of the most significant parts of its nuclear program," an official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.

But proliferation expert Mark Fitzpatrick of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a think-tank in London, said the deal "significantly sets back" Iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon without being detected and stopped.

"Just a few weeks ago analysts were projecting that by next summer Iran might be able to produce a weapon's worth of uranium within a week or so," Fitzpatrick said.

"Now it will be months. Yes, enrichment will continue - that was inevitable - but it will be more tightly inspected."

Still, verification will be "full of landmines"," warned Mark Hibbs of the Carnegie Endowment think-tank.

"This will require a level of cooperation and information sharing between the IAEA, the powers and Iran which is probably unprecedented concerning one country's nuclear program," Hibbs said.

The agreement text has not been made public. But the U.S. fact sheet said Iran had also agreed not to hook up additional centrifuges of any type, leave inoperable roughly half of installed such machines at Natanz, and not to increase its stockpile of 3.5 percent enriched uranium, among other things.

According to the IAEA's latest report on Iran, the country already has more than 7,000 kg (15,400 pounds) of low-enriched uranium, an amount experts say could be enough for four bombs if refined to 90 percent fissile concentration.

After sharply expanding its nuclear program since it started refining uranium in 2007 in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions, Iran now has about 19,000 installed centrifuges, of which about half are operating. That would not appear to change much under Sunday's interim agreement.

The United States said Iran had also agreed to no further advances in construction of its Arak heavy-water reactor, which could produce plutonium once operational - an alternative fissile source for atomic bombs.

Albright said "very tough" issues remained to be negotiated to achieve a long-term comprehensive agreement that would ensure Iran that does not build nuclear weapons.

"Iran and the United States remain far apart. What will be the exact limits on the size and scope of Iran's centrifuge program?" he asked.

So What Happens to IP Pipeline now?? Sanctions will be lifted so, USA should have no problem with it. Also international financiers and investors should have no Problem for financing IP pipeline.

US will be funding it now :woot:

Its just good cop and bad cop game.

My informations say : we just screwed you so hard !

you don't know what is happening in reality ... :pleasantry:

Iran's civilian passenger jet fleet is old and obsolete, I recommend


Sukhoi Superjet 100

MS-21

Both as good as their Western counterparts parts, but far cheaper.

Irkut MS-21 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We never had a good experience with russian passenger jets ! :whistle:
 
i admire iran

Iran actually is turkey but with alot of natural resources as a bonus

i must conclude that if sanctions are lifted iran can become a 1trillion dollars GDP by 2020-21
 
Iran basically halted its nuclear program.
Iran will get additional 7 billions so it could slaughter more Arabs in Syria.

Good deal to me.

Its just good cop and bad cop game.

Yeah Right.

Iran continues to enrich Uranium to 5%.
Iran started to enrich Uranium to 20% only after western countries refused to provide Iran with fuel rods, so Iran had to start producing the fuel itself, it wasn't our intention to do so. Now they'll have to give us 20% fuel rods for medical purposes.
Neither Natanz or Fordow facilities are closed, and Iran is planning to build few more nuclear power plants. That's what we've ever wanted from nuclear program, and we've achieved it, although they were trying to deny our rights. There was no 'weapons program' from the start, it was a huge hoax actually by Netanyahu and other warmongers.

So yes, if you and I both agree it's a good deal, then problem is solved, both of our interests are fulfilled.

And about Netanyahu going crazy about this, it's not about playing the bad cop, Netanyahu is playing the retarded stupid cop now.
 
The Obama administration are losers . All it is is more of irans 'cheat and retreat' plan. Israel, Saudi Arabia, go **** the mullahs up !! And don't get too fired up, the bulk of the sanctions will remain in place.
Lets accept the fact, US surrendered to Iran and remaining sanctions will also go off. I think it was a wise decision, because they cannot afford an Iran after Vietnam of modern times, the Afghanistan. A good way to save face. They better start similar initiatives where ever they have got their fingers stuck in shit.
 
Americans still barking about options on the table !

In my view Iran is never a threat to the west, Iran is surrounded by Sunni majority countries and is perfect for west to be a friend.
But the events happened in the decades after the Islamic revolution are like smoke screens.

I wrote some months ago, that once the Nuke deal is reached between Iran and West, Iran will become prosperous and strong economy again.
But the wars that are happening in Sunni majority countries will make them weaker and weaker day by day.
The things happening around the world are because of west's war against Islam, Sunnis are seen as threat, Persians from the beginning on wards are pro west.
