U.S. Seeks "a Lot of Dismantling" of Iran's Nuclear Infrastructure
(PBS) U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman, the lead negotiator of the nuclear interim agreement with Iran, told PBS NewsHour that she thinks the Geneva nuclear deal "will hold because it's in Iran's interest for it to hold." "The fundamental architecture around banking and oil sanctions that we have, that the European Union has, all remain in place. So what Iran really wants isn't available to them unless we get to a comprehensive agreement." "A comprehensive agreement...includes a lot of dismantling of their infrastructure, because, quite frankly, we're not quite sure that you need a 40-megawatt heavy water reactor, which is what [the] Arak [facility] is, for any civilian peaceful purpose."
