VIENNA (AP) — A document obtained by The Associated Press shows that key restrictions on Iran's nuclear program will ease in slightly more than a decade, halving the time Tehran would need to build a bomb.
The document is the only secret text linked to last year's agreement between Iran and six foreign powers. It says that after a period between 11 to 13 years, Iran can replace its 5,060 inefficient centrifuges with up to 3,500 advanced machines.
Since those are five times as efficient, the time Iran would need to make a weapon would drop from a year to six months.
Iran says its enrichment is peaceful, but the program could be used for nuclear warheads.
Two diplomats providing the information Monday demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to do so.
It could just make a person wonder how many more "secret documents" and "secret agreements" there are that you and I don't know about, that make it easier and faster for "Death to America" Iran develops its bomb.
Iran doesn't do things themselves so much any more, they commit their terrorist acts through proxies, like Hezbollah or Hamas or other terrorist organizations. I'm not concerned about myself, because I'll probably walk on before Armaggedon will happen, but I am concerned about my wife, my kids and grandchildren and my friends. Aren't you?
The Iranian nuclear program's only goal is nuclear weapons. There is no need to enrich uranium above 5% or to separate plutonium otherwise. Obama has failed.
It could make one wonder if there is really a "secret" document in the first place.
I might have doubted it if it had not been reported by mainstream news sources.
The administration already admitted lying to manipulate a friendly media. Secret side agreements that undercut all their public posturing isn't really a surprise.
