article_snippet.sent: (CNN)The outlines of a nuclear deal with Iran are in place.
article_snippet.sent: Indeed, the reality is that President Barack Obama is giving up enormous leverage in President Barack Obama nuclear deal with Iran -- and I worry we will lose it for good.
article_snippet.sent: For Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the "framework" announced last week looks like a win-win: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei gets to keep Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei nuclear infrastructure, and in return gets billions of dollars in sanctions relief.
article_snippet.sent: Unfortunately, this bill -- which passed the House in a 400-20 vote -- was blocked in the Senate last year, despite the fact that it would have sharpened the Ayatollah's choice: Dismantle your nuclear weapons program or see your economy collapse.
article_snippet.sent: Negotiated between Iran and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the framework announced last week concedes that Iran can maintain "a mutually defined enrichment program," operate thousands of centrifuges, and continue Iran research and development of nuclear technologies.
article_snippet.sent: But as bad as these concessions are, the most concerning aspect of the April 2 deal is that the April 2 deal lacks tough safeguards to stop Iran from cheating.
article_snippet.sent: The key question is this: Will the inspectors at the International Atomic Energy Agency be allowed to inspect these military sites without warning?
article_snippet.sent: Because if the International Atomic Energy Agency cannot conduct "anytime, anywhere" inspections, Iran will be able to "sneak out" to a bomb.
article_snippet.sent: Iran could easily do the same.
article_snippet.sent: The best predictor of Iran future behavior is Iran past behavior -- between 2004 and 2009, North Korea built a huge centrifuge facility named Fordo under a mountain deep in the Iranian desert.
article_snippet.sent: But we cannot rely on such luck in the future, particularly when Iran still hasn't come clean about Iran history of secret weapons development and is still dodging basic questions from the IAEA.
article_snippet.sent: The framework we have before we keeps Iran's nuclear door well and truly open.
