Since the Iran nuclear agreement was announced in July, numerous nonproliferation and national security experts have praised the deal for being "about as good as any real world agreement could be."
Diplomats from around the world recently told Congress that the Iran deal "is as good a deal as you could get," and nuclear and military experts have said it is "the most effective means currently available to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons." Nevertheless, conservative media have used falsehoods to try to discredit the deal and pushed for its rejection, claiming it could start "World War III".
According to a September 8 report from The New York Times, nuclear experts are praising another part of the Iran nuclear deal, Iran's plutonium concession, as "an incredibly big break through" and a "real success," explaining that it will end the country's ability "for making substantial amounts of bomb fuel" from plutonium -- which 95 percent of nuclear warheads rely on to ignite.
The experts explain that Iran was "perhaps only months from" producing plutonium, but "as negotiations gained momentum" the country agreed to a redesign that "would end the facility's potential for making substantial amounts of bomb fuel," which experts say was a "major turnaround":
Of the 15,000 or so nuclear warheads on the planet, atomic experts say, more than 95 percent rely on plutonium to ignite their firestorms.
As a fuel for weapons, plutonium packs a far greater punch than uranium, and in bulk can be easier and cheaper to produce. Which is why some nuclear experts voice incomprehension at what they see as a lopsided focus on uranium in evaluations of the deal reached with Iran -- under which Tehran would forsake the production of plutonium.
republicans are still misleading with misinformation 7 years on ObamCares now Iran both signature achievements by Pres., for them the premier liars of America who have practiced deception from day one have the audacity to tell us Iran can't be trusted, can we trust them now to tell the truth when they never have????????
