It’s obvious that chess was invented in
Persia.
Iranian officials in negotiations with
Secretary of State John Kerry’s delegation
over the disposition of Iran’s nuclear
program are executing a deception gambit
worthy of any grandmaster, the inevitable
result of which will be that Tehran will acquire nuclear weapons. Not in spite of, but
thanks to, already agreed on U.S. terms.
The gambit is this: The nuclear watchdog
IAEA in Vienna reports that Tehran already
has enough 20 percent, low-enriched
uranium stockpiled--and a sufficient number
of smoothly functioning centrifuge
cascades--to enrich enough U-235 to 90 percent weapons-grade for up to seven
weapons.
The Iranians moreover can
achieve this level of enrichment 60 days
after they initiate a “production dash.†(It is
a counter-intuitive fact in uranium
enrichment science that ninety percent of the processing required to attain weapons-
grade material has already been done by
the time you get to 20% enriched.) That’s
the way it is with uranium enrichment.
Endless negotiating over the other terms of
the agreement therefore is irrelevant:
sanctions, inspections, fuel storage,
overseas procurement, decommissioning
sites, and civilian energy production, all are
expendable chess pieces that Tehran can, after disingenuous protest, selectively
surrender without cost.
The U.S.-imposed
limit of 9,000 centrifuges--all the machines
they need to enrich--has already been
agreed on.
