Iran As a New Entry to the Nuclear Club

The Washington Times says, "Obama takes victory lap on 'historic' nuclear deal with Iran".
Obama is wrong and that Netanyahu is right.
As long as Iran is permitted to have the physical facilities to prepare fissionable raw material for an atomic bomb. It will eventually do so.
Mined uranium consists of two forms. The form in very low concentration is fissionable; that is it can be used to make an atomic bomb. The present state of the art is to separate the two forms by use of a centrifuge. It is a very difficult process to obtain significant quantities of the fissionable U-235. Many hundreds of centrifuges need to operate for long periods of time, but eventually a sufficient quantity of U-235 can be obtained to make an atomic bomb. Iran has had many hundreds of centrifuges operating for at least two years.
The present agreement with Iran allows them to continue having and using centrifuges. This automatically guarantees an eventual ability to produce an atomic bomb.
We understand that following the agreement Obama refers to, there was celebration in the streets of Tehran, because Iran will now be able to eventually become a world power based upon its atomic capability and threat of its use.
