Iran Nuclear Deal

Iran has made many agreements which include the following : a) not to build any new facilities for the purpose of enriching uranium for 15 years. b) reduce approximately 2/3 of its installed centrifuges. Iran will decrease its installs. c) reduce its stockpile of uranium. d) not to conduct research and develop associated with uranium enrichment. There will be inspections. The IAEA will have regular access to all of Irans nuclear facilities. Inspectors will have access to the supply chain that supports Irans nuclear program. Inspectors will have access to uranium mines and continuous surveillance at uranium mills where Iran produces yellowcake over the time or 25 years. Iran will be required to grant access to the IAEA to investigate suspicious sites or allegations of a covet enrichment facility, conversion facility, centrifuge production facility or yellowcake production facility anywhere in the country. Iran will redesign and rebuild a heavy water research reactor in ARAK. It will not  produce weapons grade plutonium, and which will support peacefull nuclear research and radioisotope production.

In March of 2009 Obama records a video message to Iranians to mark their New Year’s celebration. He asked for a “new beginning” in the countries’ relationship. He wanted to make peace. The White House has released similar messages each year since. In July 2009 Iran detains three American hikers, one woman and two men. They  entered Iranian territory from Iraq. Obama administration begins backchannel efforts through Oman and its leader, Sultan Qaboos, to free them without success. In October of 2009 undersecretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns meets with a top Iranian negotiator on the sidelines of nuclear talks at a villa near Geneva. Burns is later promoted to deputy secretary of state. Over a year  September 2010 Iran releases the female hiker on health grounds. She returns to the U.S. via Oman. One year later after that in September 2011 Iran releases two male hikers who return to the US via Oman. Informal contacts between working-level American and Iranian officials begin in earnest at various locations, including the United Nations, Oman and through the Swiss, who represent U.S. interests in Iran in the absence of diplomatic relations between Washington and Tehran. In February 2013 the U.S. and its partners open a new round of nuclear negotiations with Iran in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Iranians refuse to meet separately
 with U.S. delegation led by new Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman, the administration’s chief negotiator. In September 2013 Obama and Rouhani both attend U.N. General Assembly session. Efforts to arrange a face-to-face meeting fail, but Obama speaks to Rouhani by phone in the first conversation between a U.S. and Iranian leader since 1979. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif meets members of the P5+1 negotiating team, including Kerry and Sherman on the sidelines of the General Assembly. Kerry speaks alone with Zarif for roughly 30 minutes. Obama briefs Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the talks at a White House meeting on Sept. 30. The next day, Netanyahu delivers a powerful warning about Iran’s intentions and trustworthiness in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly. He calls Rouhani a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” In the following days, U.S. officials brief P5+1 partners on the clandestine meetings with Iran. In October 2013 Burns and Sullivan hold a third secret meeting with Iranian officials, this time joined by chief U.S. negotiator Sherman. The framework nuclear deal hashed out in the early secret talks begins to gain clarity. A new round of larger nuclear talks with world powers is held in Geneva at which Sherman meets publicly with Zarif. In November 2013 world powers meet Iran again in Geneva. Burns and Sullivan are among the U.S. delegation but are not identified as such. They are kept hidden from public view, entering meeting rooms only after photographers and journalists are escorted out. They stay at a separate hotel from the main delegation and enter the talks through service entrances. Finally the western powers and Iran reach a deal curving Irans nuclear deal.
