Iran and the USA's Plans For the Nuclear Deal in 2015 and What That Was All About

On September 28 2012,  Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the U.N. pleading with the members to heed his warning about Iran and their goal of making nuclear weapons which undoubtedly would be used first on Israel and then the USA, who Iran's President called the little Satan and the big Satan.  Some important USA members walked out during his speech as lunch was more important.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcUTm850BIc

He proved its intent to develop nuclear weapons despite the accord it reached with major powers in 2015.  Evidently Mossad has capabilities to find out such things where other countries dare not.  

367 House members wrote a letter and signed it to President Obama telling him the following:
   "Verifiable constraints on Iran's nuclear program must last for decades."  This was on March 20, 2015.  
       At the time it was a Republican majority.  The house was made up of 100 Senators.  There were 435 members of the House with 6 being non-voting delegates. That means that 68 members did not sign.  

By June 18, 2015, we all knew that June 30th was the deadline for negotiators to reach a nuclear deal with Iran.  The deal promised that Congress would have the chance to carefully scutinize the terms of the agreement to ensure that it advanced U.S. national security interests and truly blocked every Iranian pathway to a nuclear weapon.  It didn't even come close.

Trump became president on January 20, 2017. 
                                                                       
On September 27, 2018 at the UN,Netanyahu  said,  "“I am disclosing for the first time that Iran has another secret facility in Tehran, a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and materiel from Iran’s secret nuclear program,” On Thursday, Netanyahu described what he said was a secret atomic warehouse in Tehran and accused Europe of appeasing Iran as he sought to rally support for U.S. sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

"The site, he said, is three miles from where Israel reported seizing over 100,000 nuclear-related documents and videos stashed in vaults in an “innocent-looking building” in February, and he called on UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano to “do the right thing - go inspect this atomic warehouse immediately before the Iranians finish clearing it out.”

We had 5 important requirements for a good deal, that even President Trump would have admired.
The job of the negotiators was that Iran's nuclear weapons quest must be blocked for DECADES !

1. No early sunset.  
      The deal could not expire until proof of any nuclear ambition was for peaceful reasons only.  It must not be allowed to acquire the capability to produce nuclear weapons.  We would not have any assurances that the Iran government would be peaceful in 10 years since it has not been for the past 25 years.

In early October 2014, the New York Times reported on sabotage concerns arising from a blast that took place at the site.

In July 2015, there were claims that there was activity in the military complex associated with nuclear weapons, but the mission for Iran in the United Nations stated that there is no nuclear weapon production on the site and that the reactivation is a misconception caused by road reconstruction opposite the Mamloo Dam, near the Parchin Military Complex.  Mohammad Javad Zarif claimed that the Institute for Science and International Security's analysis of satellite imagery was lies.
2. Extended Breakout time.  
      Iran' breakout time is the time needed to produce enough fissile material for one nuclear weapon beyond one year.  We need time to see if Iran violated the agreement so international community would be able to respond.  President Obama said their breakout time was 2-3 months.

3. Restricted Enrichment Capability
      Iran must be restricted to low-level enrichment of 3.5% in order to show their ambitions are peaceful.  They are to be restricted the number and types of centrifuges enriching uranium showing no intention to made nuclear weapons  The agreement is for 10 years.  Otherwise, they could start weaponry-making in just a few years.

4. Restricted Stockpile
       Their stockpile must be consistently limited by shipping all enriched uranium out of the country.  All spent nuclear fuel from Bushehr reactor must be taken out of the country and remain out forever.

5. Limited Nuclear Research.
      Their ability to conduct nuclear weapons research must be limited.  For many many decades they must not develop and test nuclear weapons.

6. Monitor Iran's Supply Chain.
        We must screen their receiving anything that supports Iran's nuclear activities for many many decades.  
                                                      

The deal made by then Secretary of State John Kerry didn't resemble the plan of our government.  Kerry couldn't make such a deal so he made a deal more pleasing for Iran that they secretly broke anyway.

Former deal makers with IranThe Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA;known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal, is an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program reached in Vienna on July 14, 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany) together with the European Union. It
is said that Kerry is again working to bring that agreement
back.  

The Geneva agreement was an interim (in or for the intervening period;  provisional or temporary; an interim arrangement)

deal, in which Iran agreed to roll back parts of its nuclear program in exchange for relief from some sanctions. This went into effect on 20 January 2014. The parties agreed to extend their talks with a first extension deadline on 24 November 2014 and a second extension deadline set to 1 July 2015.  The JCPOA (Iran Deal) is based on the framework agreement from three months earlier.
