Page 25 - Irans Nuclear Program News Today

Own reporting speaking with intelligence officials in the last couple of days the israeli intelligence he reference there had did not change the u.s. assessment and in fact existed a number of weeks ago. if the president is privy to new intelligence that contradicts the already public u.s. threat assessment about irans nuclear program then he owes the american people an explanation as to what that information is. and the senate armed services committee need to call back the director of national ...

Will be very tough, hes also warning friendly countries, other countries around the world if they get involved and deal with irans nuclear program, they will be sanctioned as well. do you think that kind of pressure on the iranians could convince them to come back to the negotiating table? >> no. i thif it will end up isolating the united states and are we going to sanction our closest allies, britain and france and germany, which have said theyre going to continue to comply with the agreement w...

Deputy director at the atlantic counsel and anthony cordesman. nice to have you here. your argument is, look, this is a deal that is untenable. >> the iranians have said that they wont be party to any kind of deal. but they also said in the past that they would be unwilling to put limits on their nuclear program. but when theyre put under severe international pressure, they show that they were willing to put limits on the program. so the current deal as you point out, the limits all expire over ...

The purpose of renegotiating the deal or getting a better deal is to stop irans nuclear program, not to let it proceed. so if the trump administration pulls out, they need to have a very comprehensive strategy for what comes next. i havent seen that yet, but the goal would be to increase the economic political military pressure on iran to get a deal that eliminates this nuclear threat, not just kicks the can down the road a few years, which is what the current deal does. >> tony, how do you thin...

Negotiated that deal. finally, i think to the questions by the reporters that were hurled at the president as he went out, how does this make america safer, it is incredibly difficult to try to fathom that sitting from here. all those things that he laid out about the danger of iran, about his regional ambitions about supporting terrorism and the like, how does pulling out of one deal that constrains -- and it does, no matter what the president says -- the deal constrains irans nuclear program. ...

Said will be, it will violate a cardinal national security rule, avoid having more than one nuclear crisis at a time. is he right? >> no, i dont think so. if the president -- i dont know what answer hes going to do, it appears that he might be pulling out of the deal. i think theres a way for him to pull out and hopefully compel something broader and better and lets reimpose some of these sanctions. the reality is in 2026 most restrictions on irans nuclear program go away. thats eight years from...

Of american service members, and kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured american citizens. the iranian regime has funded its long reign of chaos and terror by plundering the wealth of its own people. no action taken by the regime has been more dangerous that its pursuit of nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. in 2015, the previous administration joined with other nations in a deal regarding irans nuclear program. this agreement was known as the join comprehensive plan of action, or jcpo...

There. shes going to be asked about this in an oversight setting, which is the right place to ask these questions. if the question is posed, would you do it again, how do you think she would respond? >> i cant speak for her. but i think it is important to understand, and this has been said before, that she was not an architect of that program. she was a midlevel official carrying out orders. in terms of how she will respond to that question, ive only seen the media reports and in those media rep...

Reversal of its position to something covert. i think it is important to note, too, that technically the agreement does not expire. it basically says indefinitely that iran will not acquire nuclear weapons and it applies for the iaea inspection. this is a critical issue in time. other one i think people are forgetting is this is only one of three threats. iran already stepped up its missile testing program. it has steadily improved its capability it attack tanker, oil shipments, all shipping in ...
