WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Iran signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968 and ratified it in 1970, making Iran’s nuclear program subject to IAEA verification. A Central Treaty Organization nuclear sciences institute was moved from Baghdad to Tehran after Iraq left CENTO.

Detailed explanation-2: -For months, nonproliferation experts have suggested Iran had enough uranium enriched up to 60 percent to build at least one nuclear weapon-though Tehran long has insisted its program is for peaceful purposes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The agreement between the P5+1+EU and Iran on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is the culmination of 20 months of “arduous” negotiations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Without a nuclear deal, Tehran can resume progress toward a nuclear weapon. Without the deal, any restrictions that block Tehran’s path to a bomb would be gone and international monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities would be lost. There is no other realistic achievable alternative to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
