Iran May Have Shut Down Some Nuclear Facilities But May Have Opened Others to Resume Its Work in Secret

(Al Arabiya) Abdulrahman al-Rashed - If some of the accusations Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made are true regarding Tehran and its failure to actually halt its nuclear activity, this will destroy the international agreement. It's no surprise at all if it later turned out that Iran continued to work in secret to develop its nuclear structure. Western countries are expected not to hesitate to look into this, as this is one of the major rights of those who signed the deal. The Iranian regime wants to be ready with nuclear capabilities that enable it to quickly produce nuclear weapons once the 10-year period ends and it may have these capabilities ready even before they end. The idea of establishing the agreement on the basis that the Supreme Leader's regime will respect the pledges it made is wrong and stupid to begin with. The dozens of cameras set by the international observers and the vows to carry out surprise inspections will not stop the regime from resorting to trickery. If the Tehran regime shut down laboratories, deactivated some equipment and opened its nuclear facilities to be inspected, it may have opened other facilities to resume its work in secret. Therefore, we may not know the truth until after it's too late! The writer is a former editor-in-chief of the London-based Asharq al-Awsat.
