Armin Rosen, Business Insider: The Iran Deal just hit a huge snag

One of the biggest mysteries of the Iran nuclear deal has been solved — but the answer may complicate the efforts of the US and its allies to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

On the same day that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between Iran and a US-led group of six countries, Iran reached a "roadmap" agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that would resolve the agency's longstanding concerns over Tehran's nuclear-weaponization program.

Under the agreement, the IAEA would investigate Iran's past weaponization work and any possible continuation of those activities prior to the full implementation of the JCPOA. But the details beyond that were murky.

WNU Editor: There are actually many snags in the Iran nuclear deal. The problem has always been the same .... Iran wants to have the infrastructure and means to produce nuclear materials for a bomb .... but they do not want to suffer from the consequences from pursuing such a goal. And while the U.S. will continue to support the Iranian nuclear deal, I am sure that as Iran continues to ignore/obfuscate UN inspectors and conduct ballistic missile tests .... support in Washington will decrease with time .... doubly so when President Obama is no longer in office.
