(Ynet News) Alex Fishman - Following the signing of the nuclear deal in July, the sanctions against Iran will be lifted on Dec. 15. But Iran is not meeting its obligations to dismantle its nuclear capability as per its agreement with six world powers. According to the agreement, Iran has until Dec. 15 to dismantle two-thirds of its active centrifuges, so that it will not have more than 6,000 old-generation centrifuges in its possession. All the advanced centrifuges will be taken apart, the stockpiles of enriched uranium up to 3.6% will be reduced to 300kg and the medium-grade enriched uranium will be destroyed. The Iranians are also obligated to make engineering changes to their Arak reactor. None of these clauses have been fulfilled. Yediot Ahronot has received information from Western intelligence officials showing that at the pace the Iranians are working, they will only meet their obligations sometime during the second half of 2016 - and perhaps even later.
