KRAUTHAMMER: I think the deal is a catastrophe. I think it is the worst deal since Munich, and I think it might even be more cynical than Munich, because I think those signing it, to give them credit, I think they actually know that it is the keys to the kingdom for the Iranians. I mean, the foreign minister already said that this is a victory, that the West has surrendered to the will of Iran. And they have spelled out exactly in what ways itâs a complete victory. They do not have to suspend enrichment. Theyâre given the right to enrich, which of course the fundamental idea of non-proliferation is you do not enrich uranium. There are five Security Council resolutions demanding an end and a reversal of their enrichment. Well, this gives them until eternity the right to enrich. The only thing it does is it prevents the enrichment to 20%, but thatâs meaningless. Theyâre continuing to enrich to 3-5%, and from there, to 20%, and from there to weapons grade is a matter of weeks. So theyâre doing that. Theyâre producing new centrifuges. There is no restriction whatsoever in the end on their working on the weaponization of a bomb. There isnât even inspection of the Parchin facility, which is where theyâre working on nuclear triggers. And lastly, what theyâve boasted about is well, the 20% enriched uranium has to be, in fact, John Kerry said it has to be destroyed. Thatâs simply not true. 20% enriched uranium is turned into uranium oxide. Hereâs the bad news. That is a reversible chemical process. The foreign minister boasted that everything they do that pushes the pause button can be reversed in a single day.
