Think they sound convincing? Look at those arguments one by one, and you\u2019ll see why each of them is bogus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #1. More pressure can secure a better deal with Iran than current negotiations. If Iran walks away from talks now, this pressure will eventually bring it back to the table, ready to make more compromises.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pressure in the form of sanctions \u2014 especially multilateral, international sanctions \u2014 helped convince Iran to come to the negotiating table. But Iran\u2019s red lines in negotiations, including retaining some level of enrichment, are clear. Additional U.S. pressure now, aimed at forcing the Iranian regime \u201cto its knees,\u201d is far more likely to scuttle talks than to force greater Iranian flexibility, and the failure of diplomacy would be blamed on the U.S., not Iran. One result: no deal to curtail Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Another result: strengthening those in Iran who support weaponization of the nuclear program as a deterrent against attack. And a third result: the almost certain collapse of the international sanctions regime, which has been critical to restraining Iran\u2019s nuclear program so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #2. The only good deal with Iran is one that completely or nearly completely dismantles Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure, preventing Iran from enriching or limiting Iran to close to zero enrichment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zero enrichment or complete dismantlement of Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure is both unachievable and unnecessary. It\u2019s unachievable because just as U.S. negotiators must get a deal they can \u201csell\u201d to their constituencies, Iranian negotiators must be able to sell a deal to their own constituencies as meeting their own red lines. And it\u2019s unnecessary because assuming \u201czero enrichment\u201d and \u201ccomplete dismantlement\u201d are genuinely shorthand for \u201cthe best possible guarantee that Iran\u2019s nuclear program will remain peaceful,\u201d this goal can be achieved through a nuclear agreement that includes strict limits on Iran\u2019s enrichment capacity and stringent safeguards and transparency with respect to Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities and materials. Insisting on \u201czero enrichment\u201d or \u201ctotal dismantlement\u201d guarantees no deal \u2014 which means it guarantees that such limits and safeguards are <em>absent<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #3. Any deal with Iran is a bad deal, because the mullahs can\u2019t be trusted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any nuclear deal with Iran would be grounded in ongoing rigorous inspections and verification mechanisms \u2014 not trust \u2014 to ensure that Iran lived up to its end of a deal. Should Iran interfere with those inspections and verification mechanisms, or should those inspections and verification mechanisms reveal Iranian malfeasance, the international community would know immediately and have ample opportunity to prepare its response. Without an agreement, those rigorous inspections and verification mechanisms would be absent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #4. It would be wrong to make any nuclear deal with Iran unless that deal also held Iran accountable for its support for terrorism and extremism, in the region and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Iran nuclear deal would not change U.S. policy or impact U.S. sanctions with respect to Iran\u2019s support for terrorism. U.S. anti-terrorism legislation is for the most part separate from Iran nuclear legislation; anti-terrorist provisions that apply to countries around the world would continue to apply equally to Iran, even with a nuclear deal in place. A nuclear deal with Iran could, potentially, open the door for improved U.S.-Iran relations, which could increase U.S. leverage and potentially lead to improvements in other areas of concern to the U.S., including concerns linked to Iran\u2019s support for terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #5. It would be wrong to make any nuclear deal with Iran unless that deal also held Iran accountable for its terrible record with respect to human rights and civil liberties inside Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Iran nuclear deal would not change U.S. policy or impact U.S. sanctions with respect to Iran\u2019s record on human rights abuses, democracy, or other non-nuclear-related matters. By improving the conditions of Iranians overall, an Iran nuclear deal could strengthen domestic groups engaged in promoting human rights and civil liberties. It could also strengthen Iranian political forces that are more open to change. For these reasons, a nuclear deal is widely supported by human rights and democracy advocates within Iran. The failure of Iran diplomacy \u2014 and what this failure would mean in terms of discrediting some of Iran\u2019s more moderate political voices \u2014 could open the door to greater repression domestically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #6. A deal with Iran over its nuclear program will only strengthen an odious, extremist regime, and in doing so increase the threat of extremists everywhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. and its P5+1 partners are pursuing a nuclear agreement with Iran not as a gift to Iran, but because curtailing the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is in the vital interests of the U.S. and the international community, including Israel. A deal with Iran over its nuclear program would in no way imply U.S. approval for Iranian policies or bad behavior in any sphere. And a deal would in no way limit the ability of the U.S. and the international community to sanction or pressure Iran for bad behavior \u2014 just like any other country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #7. One-year \u201cbreakout\u201d time for Iran to become a nuclear state is way too short. If Iran decides to dash to get a bomb, it will already be too late.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreakout\u201d time doesn\u2019t refer to the time required for Iran to become a nuclear-armed state. It refers to the time needed for Iran to produce enough weapons-grade uranium to fuel a single nuclear bomb. To become a nuclear-armed state, Iran would have to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for at least two bombs, one to test (to prove its nuclear capabilities) and the other to hold as a deterrent against retaliation. It would also have to build both bombs, build a working delivery system, and carry out a test. An agreement would impede Iran\u2019s ability to do all of these things. It would <em>extend<\/em> \u201cbreakout\u201d time from the current 2-3 months to at least one year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #8. It doesn\u2019t matter how many limits or safeguards you put into place \u2014 Iran will \u201csneak out,\u201d and we will wake up one day to find Iran armed with nuclear bombs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guess what? \u201cSneak-out\u201d is a danger with or without an agreement. An agreement will put into place inspection, oversight and verification mechanisms \u2014 with respect to facilities, equipment and supplies \u2014 that ensure that a \u201csneak-out\u201d would be far more difficult for Iran to achieve and far more likely to be detected. Without an agreement, this oversight will not be implemented, ensuring that any \u201csneak-out\u201d effort would be far more likely to go undetected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #9. Current negotiations leave in place too many Iranian centrifuges. The more centrifuges left spinning, the greater the threat Iran poses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the interim deal that gave birth to the current negotiations Iran has already eliminated its stockpile of 20% enriched uranium gas, the feedstock required to produce weapons-grade uranium \u2014 in effect emptying the cartoon bomb that Netanyahu displayed at the U.N. So the immediate threat of Iranian \u201cbreakout\u201d has been dramatically reduced. A nuclear deal can be expected to build on this, significantly reducing and capping the number of centrifuges spinning in Iran, limiting the type of centrifuges, and limiting enrichment, such that Netanyahu\u2019s cartoon bomb will not be refilled and weapons-grade uranium remains out-of-reach. Without an agreement, the number of Iran\u2019s centrifuges can only be expected to grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #10. A nuclear deal with Iran will leave Iran as a threat to the world and an existential threat to Israel, will sell out our allies in the Gulf, and will fuel a nuclear arms race in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A negotiated deal with Iran would not imply that the U.S. was abandoning traditional allies in favor of warmer ties with Iran. Neither diplomacy nor military action can guarantee that Iran will not someday decide to pursue nuclear weapons. International pressure and sanctions have impeded Iran\u2019s nuclear program for years, but more importantly, leaders in Iran today have decided not to pursue an active nuclear weapons program. A negotiated deal can bolster this decision, while further rolling back Iran\u2019s nuclear capacity such that if Iran\u2019s leaders someday have a change of heart, the U.S. and international community \u2014 including our allies in the region \u2014 will have ample time to take action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argument #11. A deal that \u201csunsets\u201d after 10 or 15 years is no good \u2014 it just means that Iran will wait and ready itself and then go nuclear the minute a deal ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Iran nuclear agreement would dramatically mitigate the short- and medium-term threats of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. When that agreement ends, Iran would remain a member of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, subject to the terms of that treaty (and it was violations of the NPT that got Iran in trouble in the first place). Iran would also remain bound by an Additional Protocol to the treaty, granting U.N. inspectors greater authority in monitoring Iran\u2019s nuclear program. At that time, following a decade or more of intrusive inspections and other oversight mechanisms, the U.S. and international community would be in a far stronger position to judge Iran\u2019s actions and intentions vis-\u00e0-vis its nuclear program than they would have been without a deal. If Iran then appears to be shifting course and pursuing weaponization, the U.S. and international community would take action \u2014 and their decisions at that time would benefit from more than a decade of insights into Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>Still not convinced?
