As I discussed in an August 3, 2023 American Greatness article, the Biden administration negotiated a secret, unwritten nuclear deal with Iran last spring that reportedly will provide Tehran with $20 billion in sanctions relief and keep its nuclear program at a level capable of quickly producing weapons-grade nuclear fuel.
A new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency disproves the Biden Administration's attempts to dismiss the danger of the secret agreement and to falsely portray it as a deal that halted Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
First of all, uranium enriched to 60% uranium-235 is only ten days to two weeks away from weapons-grade level enrichment, 90%. Second, while the report says Iran slightly lowered the production rate of 60% enriched uranium, it also states that the amount increased and Iran's overall stockpile of enriched uranium at various levels - all of which could be used to make nuclear weapons fuel - also increased since the last IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program issued in May. Biden officials floated this misleading argument to the Wall Street Journal last month, which ran an article citing unnamed "People briefed on the matter" who falsely claimed that Iran significantly slowed the rate that it was accumulating near weapons-grade uranium.
Not every reporter has fallen for the Biden Administration's spin about its new nuclear deal with Iran.
The Biden Administration's misrepresentation of its secret nuclear deal is similar to efforts by NSC official Ben Rhodes in 2015, who used an "Echo chamber" to sell the Obama Administration's nuclear deal with Iran to sympathetic reporters.
This agreement does not solve or delay the threat from Iran's advancing nuclear weapons program - it is a short-term deal to placate Tehran until the Biden Administration reopens negotiations with Iran with new concessions in 2025 if Mr. Biden is reelected.
To be clear: despite the new secret Biden nuclear deal which reportedly will give Iran $20 billion in sanctions relief, the IAEA has found that its stockpile of near-weapons grade uranium and other enriched uranium continues to grow.
