I think there are a number of fatal flaws in our position and in fact in what has already been agreed.
Once you allow Iran to maintain and in fact under this agreement expand a large-scale infrastructure for enrichment, the agreement in and of itself explicitly recognizes at that point Iran as a nuclear weapons threshold state.
It is certainly better that Iran, at declared facilities, is spinning fewer centrifuges rather than more centrifuges.
I would suggest that instead of relieving sanctions we impose even more sanctions. It was sanctions that brought the Iranians to the table.
