Nuclear deal with Iran will significantly reduce Tehran’s enrichment capacity,

flag-IranNuclear deal will reduce Iran enrichment capacity: US adviser Yahoo 7 News, 3 June 15 Doha (AFP) – A nuclear deal with Iran will significantly reduce Tehran’s enrichment capacity, US Vice-President Joe Biden’s national security adviser told a conference in Qatar on Monday.

Dr Colin H. Kahl, speaking at the US-Islamic World Forum in Doha, said the current deal being hammered out was the best on offer, despite many sceptical voices in the US and elsewhere, including Gulf Arab states.
“Under the deal we are negotiating… Iran’s enrichment capability will be substantially rolled back,” said Kahl.
“The deal we are negotiating makes us and the region safer.”

The ongoing talks to finalise a nuclear accord between Iran and world powers, including the United States, are deadlocked weeks ahead of a deadline.

Negotiations at the weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, failed to bridge differences between Washington and Tehran, especially over the crucial issue of inspections of military sites…….

Since the April 2 accord, technical experts have been meeting behind the scenes to overcome the remaining issues. But many of the decisions now need to be made at a political level. Following talks last weekend, US Secretary of State John Kerry broke a leg while cycling but advisers said the accident would not slow the globe-trotting diplomat.

Kahl said on Monday that “today” it would take Iran two-to-three months to produce enough fissile material for one bomb.But despite criticism he said a negotiated settlement was the best solution.

“In the absence of comprehensive agreement to deal with this challenge and constrain Iran’s programme, Iran would likely install and begin operating tens of thousands of fissile centrifuges in the near future,” he added.

The forum is a three-day long conference involving politicians, policy advisers and academics from across the Middle East and the United States.  http://news.yahoo.com/nuclear-deal-roll-back-iran-military-us-adviser-154651601.html
