Jake Sullivan: Under the Obama Administration Iranian Nuclear Stockpile Was Reduced by 97%

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: "Well, if they actually are able to negotiate a nuclear agreement based on this M.O.U., and you guys have been right that that remains very much open to question, but if they are, some of the elements will look very similar to the JCPOA: a cap on enrichment for a certain period of time, the disposition of some part of the stockpile. Under the Biden — or the Obama Administration, the stockpile was reduced by 97%, and it was taken out of the country and downblended so that Iran couldn’t have it at all. Right now, we’re talking about much of that stockpile remaining in the country. And then there is the essential question that Richard Haass put on the table: inspectors. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action had 150-plus pages of meticulous requirements for monitoring and verification of every commitment Iran made, inspectors all over the country, and this deal does not have that."
