The Iran Nuclear Deal: Excerpts

Share this story

The announcement of the Iran deal made many people wonder whether it’s just too dense and technical to be understood. Not at all! Here are some highlights, including some behind-the-scenes revisions that show how this historic agreement was reached.

1.46: The Framework for Agreement Version 3.14 states, with absolute clarity, that Iran shall not pursue a nuclear weapon. “Pursue” shall hereafter mean running after a nuclear weapon because it started to roll down a hill. In addition, Iran shall not build a nuclear weapon or purchase a nuclear weapon even if there is a sale at Costco and it can’t resist stocking up. Iran also shall not research the creation of a nuclear weapon unless the supreme leader’s son is doing a school project for the science fair, in which case the full resources of the International Atomic Energy Agency shall be made available to it.
