Iran's Enrichment Threat Reveals Fatal Flaw in Nuclear Deal

June 18, 2019 press@uani.com Iran's Enrichment Threat Reveals Fatal Flaw in Nuclear Deal (New York, N.Y.) - Iran's threat to exceed the limits on its stockpile of enriched-uranium reveals a fatal flaw in the 2015 nuclear deal that bolsters the need for a fundamental renegotiation of the agreement, said leaders of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI). Iran's announcement came mere days after being accused by the U.S. of culpability in attacks on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman. "The announcement by Iran is another example of why President Trump made the correct decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal," said UANI Chairman Senator Joseph I. Lieberman. "The ease with which Iran can restart and ramp up its nuclear program should alarm the world. The international community cannot allow Iran to engage in nuclear blackmail without any consequences. If Tehran carries through on its threats, Europe, Russia, and China should join the U.S. and reimpose broad sanctions on this outlaw regime." "The Iran nuclear deal was fatally flawed from the start," said UANI CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace. "It left Iran with an industrial scale nuclear industry that allows Iran to enrich and weaponize at the time of its choosing. Iran's actions in the last day reveal that fundamental flaw." UANI's report, What's Wrong with the Iran Nuclear Deal, highlights the many flaws in the agreement, from its nuclear sunset provisions to its frontloaded benefits to the Islamic Republic. UANI's report, Sanctions: Fact or Fiction, separates the truth from Iran's false claims about the adverse impacts of U.S. sanctions.
