(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Former acting national security adviser Jacob Nagel, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said last week in a Jerusalem Post Zoomcast that any new agreement between world powers and Iran must stop Tehran from developing all the components of a nuclear bomb and address new information uncovered since the original Iran deal of 2015. "Everyone in the P5+1 says they don't want Iran to be nuclear, so we have to cut off their race to the bomb," Nagel said. He also pointed to Iran's nuclear archive, which Israel obtained in 2018. "Some say, 'no, it's [information] from before 2003, forget about it.' But the archive shows [Iran] didn't desert the idea to have a nuclear weapon. It's written in their handwriting that they want to design and test five warheads, each one 10 kilotons. That's five Hiroshimas." Iran still has all of the knowledge contained in those archives, Nagel explained.
