Imagine that. Obama and Hillary Clinton’s Iran nuke deal that she worked on before leaving State Department to pad her pockets contains special and secret exemptions for Iranian to skirt any “rules” placed in the finalized Iran nuke deal. This just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it?
It may be time for the White House to fire up the Iran deal echo chamber once again. A new report by the Institute for Science and International Security finds that, contrary to a claim made by the Obama administration, there was a last minute agreement made in secret regarding the Iran deal. The agreement allowed Iran to exceed certain limitations set in the Iran deal so they would be in compliance on implementation day. From the report:
Obama-Hillary agreed to secret exemptions to the Iran deal The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) placed detailed limitations on facets of Iran’s nuclear program that needed to be met by Implementation Day, which took place on January 16, 2016.* Most of the conditions were met by Iran. However, we have learned that some nuclear stocks and facilities were not in accordance with JCPOA limits on Implementation Day, but in anticipation the Joint Commission had earlier and secretly exempted them from the JCPOA limits. The exemptions and in one case, a loophole, involved the low enriched uranium (LEU) cap of 300 kilograms (kg), some of the near 20 percent LEU, the heavy water cap, and the number of large hot cells allowed to remain in Iran. One senior knowledgeable official stated that if the Joint Commission had not acted to create these exemptions, some of Iran’s nuclear facilities would not have been in compliance with the JCPOA by Implementation Day.
