Mr. Friscus

While the Obama Administration is harolding themselves and achieving an iconic peace deal, they seem to be the only people in the world who believe it.
The American text claims that Iran has "agreed to do this or that".. but that's not how the Iran text reads.
Let's look at the differences in the claims by Iran and Obama.
Claim #1: When he became president Iran had “ thousands of centrifuges” which would now be cut down to around 6,000.
Truth: In fact, in 2008, Iran had only 800 centrifuges. It was on Obama’s watch and because of his perceived weakness that Iran speeded up its nuclear program.
Claim #2: Thanks to his efforts, “all of Iran’s paths” to developing a nuclear arsenal would be blocked.
Truth: In the same remarks he admits that even if this deal is fully implemented, Iran would still be able to build a bomb in just a year, presumably jumping over the “blocked paths.”
Claim #3: The only alternative to his massive concessions would be “another ground war in the Middle East.”
Truth: He ignores the fact that forcing Iran through diplomatic action, sanctions and proximity pressures to abide by six UN resolutions could also be regarded as an alternative. In other words, preemptive surrender is not the only alternative to war.

What to take away from all of this?
The American text claims that Iran has "agreed to do this or that".. but that's not how the Iran text reads.
Let's look at the differences in the claims by Iran and Obama.
- The American text says Iran will reduce the number of centrifuges from 19,000 to 6,500. The Iran text "shall be able to" reduce the number... suggesting that it will do such an act if it chooses to.
- The Americans say Iran has agreed to stop enrichment there for 15 years. The Iranians say it is something that Iran “will be able to do,” if it so wished.
- American claims Iran has agreed not to use advanced centrifuges, each of which could do the work of 10 old ones. Iran insists that “on the basis of solutions found, work on advanced centrifuges shall continue on the basis of a 10-year plan.”
- The American text claims Iran has agreed to dismantle the core of the heavy water plutonium plant in Arak. The Iranian text says the opposite. The plant shall remain and be updated and modernized.
- Obama has stated the Iranian nuclear project and its military-industrial offshoots would be put under a kind of international tutelage for 10, 15 or even 25 years. Iran doesn't even acknowledge this as part of the deal.
- The US talks of sanctions “ relief”, Iran claims the sanctions would be “immediately terminated.”
- The American text claims Iran has agreed to take measures to reassure the international community on military aspects of its nuclear project, aka Iran’s development of missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. Iran, and all other non-american texts don't acknowledge this.

What to take away from all of this?
- There's no reason to trust Obama's grandstanding and claims.
- There's no reason to trust Iran's commitment to follow through on anything they even agreed to.
