Assessing the Iran Nuclear Deal One Year Later
(Washington Post) Carol Morello - By virtually all accounts, Iran has done everything it is required to do under the nuclear agreement. But the best-case scenario, that the deal would exert a moderating influence on Iran's behavior, has yet to be realized. Human rights abuses have piled up and Tehran has conducted missile tests that UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called inconsistent with "the constructive spirit" of the deal. David Albright, a nuclear expert with the Institute for Science and International Security, says, "The deal has been a real success in getting deep reductions in Iran's nuclear capability. But now Iran is trying to push back and get new capabilities."
