Allowing Iran to retain some low-grade enrichment capacity would be a plausible concession – and one that would allow the country’s leaders to save face – but only if linked to Iran’s unfettered disclosure of all nuclear activities to the IAEA and confirmed cessation of any capability that contributes to weaponization. And, given the stakes, any international agreement with Iran must come with an assured response to cheating, including military action.
但在两年后的今天，伊朗必须再一次看看自己。只要严厉的经济制裁保持下去，伊朗政府最终无法拥有核武器并享受核武器带来的好处。允许伊朗保有一些低层次浓缩能力或许是可行的让步——也能让伊朗领导人保住颜面——但伊朗必须实打实地向IAEA披露所有核活动并确认停止所有有利于武器化的设施。此外，考虑到兹事体大，与伊朗的国际协定必须有白纸黑字的作弊应对措施，包括采取军事行动。
