First, thanks to the JCPOA, in a decade, Iran will possess enough nuclear material to build dozens of bombs. The reality on the ground over the last five years has shown that the JCPOA didn’t stop, or even slow down, the Iranian nuclear program. Under the deal, Iran is permitted to stockpile as much as 300 kilograms of enriched uranium, a key ingredient in nuclear weapons. Secondly, several years ago, Israel exposed Iran’s secret nuclear archive, which, among its many thousands of pages and files, contained documents detailing undeclared nuclear sites and radioactive materials, as well as blueprints for how to weaponize its nuclear program. This secret archive proved that Iran’s nuclear-weapons program didn’t stop in 2003; it was merely using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons.
