Is Iran in Compliance with the Nuclear Agreement?

(MEMRI) Yigal Carmon and A. Savyon - Iran is refusing to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to carry out inspections in accordance with Section T of the JCPOA, which prohibits Iran from "designing, developing, fabricating, acquiring, or using multi-point explosive detonation systems suitable for a nuclear explosive device." Iran is building and operating larger numbers of advanced centrifuges than are allowed by the agreement. The 8.5 tons of enriched uranium shipped out from Iran according to the JCPOA are not being monitored by the IAEA, and in fact the shipment disappeared in Russia. The possibility that Russia, Iran's ally, has returned it to Iran should not be discounted. The IAEA cannot conduct real inspections in Iran, and therefore its confirmation that Iran is complying with the JCPOA is invalid. IAEA inspections are carried out solely in the limited areas where Iran allows inspection. No other sites in Iran, including military sites, are included. The IAEA carried out a scandalous inspection at the Parchin military site that was aimed at closing Iran's Possible Nuclear Dimensions file in accordance with a predetermined political decision. IAEA inspectors did not themselves visit Parchin, and the samples from these sites were taken by the Iranians themselves. IDF Col. (ret.) Yigal Carmon, former counter-terrorism advisor to two Israeli prime ministers, is President of MEMRI. A. Savyon is Director of the MEMRI Iran Media Project.
