International Atomic Energy Agency head
says Iran deal now irrelevant,
Islamic regime is on cusp of nuke
International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi has been sounding the alarm about Iran for some time. In September, he warned that Iran had stopped abiding by the nuclear deal three and a half years ago. In February 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed that Iran had accumulated uranium enriched to 84% purity — the highest level found by inspectors in the country to that date, and a concentration just 6% below what is needed for a weapon. Iran knew that it was virtually free to develop a nuclear bomb without any accountability. In 2022, Israel had given the nuclear watchdog evidence of four concealed Iranian nuclear sites. Yet nothing was done about it. Iran was left to its own devices.
And now the International Atomic Energy Agency is saying “that there was little point in trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, with Iran already practically a nuclear threshold state.” This statement in itself is not relevant. The nuke deal was a sham to begin with, as it was based on lies, by Iran’s own admission.
A nuke deal cannot stop Iran. Only severe sanctions can, which Trump applied while in power, but which Biden discontinued. Instead of enforcing sanctions, Biden empowered Iran. Whatever abilities to produce a nuclear weapon Iran has acquired is owed to the Biden administration.
UN monitor says reviving Iran deal now irrelevant,
since Tehran on cusp of nuke
Times of Israel, December 17, 2024:
The UN’s top atomic regulator said this week that there was little point in trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, with Iran already practically a nuclear threshold state.
The comments by International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi in Italy on Monday underlined growing frustration by the UN monitor toward Iran, which has blown past stockpile limits set by the landmark pact and spurned inspections since Washington abandoned the deal in 2018.
Under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran was only permitted to enrich uranium to 3.68 percent purity, a level consistent with civilian uses of nuclear technology that Iran claims are its only pursuit, capping its stockpile at 300 kilograms.
But according to an IAEA report handed to member states and leaked to the press earlier this month, Iran has begun dramatically expanding its production of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade levels, collecting enough material for several bombs already….
