Iranian Official On Nuke Deal: 'We Did Not Agree To Dismantle Anything' -- CNN

(CNN) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes concessions by his side in the six-month nuclear deal with Iran, telling CNN in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."

Zarif told CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto that terminology used by the White House to describe the agreement differed from the text agreed to by Iran and the other countries in the talks -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.

"The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments" under the agreement that took effect Monday, Zarif said in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.

My Comment: The problem is that the White House is keeping much of the text of the nuclear agreement secret .... as a result my gut is telling me that the Iranians assessment of what they had agreed to is probably right. In short .... they are not going to dismantle anything, and if they choose to opt out of these talks their nuclear enrichment program will continue almost right away.
